Collin Ray ROCKS!!!

This is only a small portion of the pictures we got at the concert. I REALLY need a camera with better zooom...maybe for Christmas! =-)

We had a blast! My hunny was able to get out of work about a half hour early, so we left around 4:15. The traffic wasn't horrible, but pretty much typical for the time of day and route we were taking. We stopped for dinner around 6:45 and got to the fairgrounds a little after 7. At first we were surprised by how "dead" the fair seamed. There weren't many people anywhere. The grandstands were right in front of us, so we headed there first, and there was a decent crowd of people getting seats for the show. We decided to grab our seats and just chill for a while. We were about 8 rows back or so, and on the end...NICE! The place filled up gradually and then it was time!!! Collin came out sporting sunglasses as he was facing the setting sun, but soon as it was down, off they came. He put on an amazing show. He sang all of my favorite songs =-). Even my hunny enjoyed the show. Collin even sang a Don Henley song and a Beattle song, and the fact that he sang them like they were intended to be sang really impressed my hunny. So much so, that if all works out and there aren't any plans on July 5th, we're going to get to see him in Pleasanton (Quite a bit closer than Stockton).
Sadly the show ended, but I was thrilled cause I got to see Collin and had really great seats. I thought for sure it was super late. Turns out it wasn't even 10pm yet, so we got to walk around the fair a bit. We saw some sheep (after two pens we determined...they all look alike!!!), then we wondered over to the pigs, sheep and turkeys, then meandered around a bit. Oh, they even had the official Budweiser Clydesdales there! They are magnificent creatures...absolutey beautiful (and HUGE)!
The trip home only took an hour and a half or so...much better than the two and a half to get there!!!!
It really was a wonderful evening! Here's to hopin that we get to see his show in a couple weeks again!
