Jimmy Buffet Concert

 May 24, 2018 

I was ready to go see Jimmy Buffet in concert... 

 First stop was my sisters house.  And we were celebrating my birthday (and Chris' birthday) and look what my sister, who claims to not be crafty, made me!  A picture frame.  It is SO CUTE!

 Chris and I with our Happy Birthday sashes on.  You can't see them because of all of the tropical paraphernalia that needs to be worn to Jimmy Buffet concerts.

If you've never been to a Jimmy Buffet concert, you would be surprised at the amount of tailgating that goes on.  I took a few pics.

This was our little spread.  My sister, again, made all of this!

I offered to help but she said no she'd do it.

The others had to work, and drive the farthest, so they wouldn't have had time to do much except change and head my way!

So we only had a little bit of time to tailgate.

 But check out some of the creative tailgaters!  A bar made out of pallets.

 Games and music...

 and another bar.

 It was amazing.  Now....let me just say it was so stinkin' hot that day.  It was in the 90's and we had to wait in an unbelievable line while they scanned every single person and looked in their purses and had us shake our blankets (for sitting on) out.

We even had to take off our hats and leis and such....

So this guy holding up a surfboard made me so happy because he was blocking the sun from baking us!

 We had to take a few group photos because I need a good one for my new frame!  So, there's Chris, then Vickie (cousin) then me, then Vickie's daughter (Adult Ashley - second cousin - something like that) and sister Theresa.

 
 These people parasailed in to the concert!

 Jimmy was only a couple of inches tall but he had great stage back drops!

We were so glad when the sun set because it cooled us off.  Hey we weren't complaining though because it didn't rain!  And what a gorgeous sunset!

 Drinks were an absolute ridiculous amount of money.  Thanks Vickie and Ashley. They bought a big glass of wine that we split five ways and two big glasses of water that we split.  Smart thinkin!  I got ticked off because they wanted $7 for a bottle of water!

We all had a great time!  And LET ME JUST SAY it is NOT my birthday yet.   So don't wish me Happy Birthday YET!   If you remember I said I was celebrating all year.  I'll be 60 in just two short weeks!    And I'm celebrating!
