one year!!

we have officially passed the 1 year mark!! & we celebrated our anniversary with a long weekend in Chicago!

we "took over Chicago by land, air and sea"
(can you guess what movie that is from? and yes, my crazy husband is wearing off on me-I'm quoting movies!)
we did some serious shopping, we saw navy pier, the art institute, wrigley field, lincoln park & last but not least we did some serious eating...we tried the deep dish Pizza at a local spot & we found another old steakhouse called gene & georgetti's, we also had lunch in an old firehouse...

you'll see in the pictures...we took a "segway" tour of the city-all I can say is those machines are a little more difficult than they look..i.e. you have to wear a helmet! (we also had to wear a name tag-I guess that's so they can yell at you more quickly if you start to get out of control!) there were two different "crashes" during our tour but I didn't have anything to do with either one! it was a lot of fun...



If you'd like, click on one of the actual pictures below the flickr icon (then click on chicago set on the right side of the screen) & you can see the rest of our trip pictures...

have a good week....

musical interlude

back in December the Fray performed a live show at the Gibson Guitar Factory here in Nashville. Rack N Roll Audio (i.e. Rob, Jeremy, Jeff & Mike ) were asked to record their live show.

so, today the Fray released the live recording exclusively at Target! here are the links and a few pictures!!

the Fray will be back in Nashville sometime this fall, the plan is for Rack N Roll Audio to be consultants on the group's next project...

have a good week...

the ocoee river

On Saturday, Jeremy, Megan and my Dad rafted on the Ocoee River. The river is a couple of hours from Nashville. The river is where the 1996 Olympic whitewater competition was held...
don't they look like Olympic athletes!!





Just in case you were wondering, I was not the photographer...I opted out of this one! they only rafted the upper section where the olympic competition was held (you can also raft the middle section too)






If you ever feel the need to raft this river too... they used Ocoee Adventure Center...http://www.ocoeeadventurecenter.com/
