A Much Needed Adult Weekend Away: Eric Church Concert

So since Chris got home from Afghanistan we had hit the ground running everyday. Vacation was great but we needed some time away also.. just Chris and I.

So we planned a 3 day weekend down in Cincinnati to see Eric Church and spend some time together without the "Mom, I am hungry!" Or "Dad, Hudson is on me!" or Hudson chewing my shoes or one of Audrey's toys. All of those lovely everyday kids things. Don't get me wrong I love those things and I was definitely struggling with leaving Audrey for 3 days but after Chris being gone for a year I was ready for a break too. Getting ready to go out of town without kids is more work than I thought. Audrey was being passed between our neighbor and my sister in law throughout the weekend and along with making arrangements for Hudson I was ready to give up. I didn't even want to go. But I knew once we got there we would have fun so Friday we got on the road to Cincinnati  We stayed in an absolutely beautiful hotel in downtown Cincinnati and spent Friday getting drinks with friends. 

I didn't take my camera out of the hotel for 2 reasons so I only have cell phone pics of the concert. 1.) I wasn't taking a chance losing it once we got out (aka once I started drinking) and 2.) if they checked my bag sometimes the door people at concerts get kinda weird about my camera. Like I am a professional photographer... my camera isn't that sweet lol 

Anyways Eric Church, Kip Moore and Justin Moore were amazing as usual! We didn't have amazing seats but I didn't care! This was the first country concert I could go to with Chris is well over a year and not go with girlfriends (no offence ladies)! So off course I cried because that is what country music does to me. And sometimes I would just look at him and think oh man, he is really home. He is really here with me. I am not by myself anymore. We had a blast that is for sure!

And before we knew it it was time to head back to Toledo. Three days was just enough for me away from Audrey. I haven't spent time away from her since Chris and I went on a long weekend vacation 2 years ago. But I couldn't complain to Chris about this... I mean he had spent an entire year away from her while deployed. So I would text my SIL to get updates on Audrey... I know, I know, I am a sap. But by Sunday I was definitely ready to go home but how great was it for Chris and I to get a few days away :) That probably won't happen again... well ever.
