Party with RockStars! O.A.R.

What a turn this year's trip took!!! Aaron and I headed down to St. Augustine, FL to catch the O.A.R. show. Last year, we had so much fun that both of us were looking forward to seeing our FAVORITE band in an outside amphitheatre.

We arrived and headed over to Sunset Grill to pick up some dinner before the concert started. We really like this dive bar and have talked about it nonstop since last year. Then we headed on over to hear some music!!!

Shortly after they started, they stated that a song was dedicated to some friends in the crowd. I noticed how a group next to us got really super excited and told Aaron that they were who the song was for. Neither one of us recognized the song, so, afterward the song, I asked them what the name was ("Tonight"). Then, throughout the concert, we talked and danced and had a great time. When the show was over, they asked us if we wanted to tag along backstage. Um...YEAH!!!!!

We got backstage and got to meet everyone except the lead singer who had gone on to New Orleans. We all hung out to almost midnight when they found out that something was going on with loading and it would be a couple more hours till they left. No one knew St. Augustine or where to go, so Aaron and I recommended SUNSET GRILL! AND THEY SAID SURE!!!! We all loaded up in THEIR van and off we went. It was surreal! Aaron is giving directions to the driver; I am sitting towards the back with band members all around me. It was so much fun!

Turned out to be one of the best nights ever....
