Night Out for Mommy and Daddy!

For my 30th birthday, my parents and Geoff got me tickets to see Bon Jovi at Soldier Field! What a fantastic gift!

Geoff and I decided to make a day and entire night out of it by going downtown around noon on Saturday and then staying over night at The Wit (one of the hip newer hotels in Chicago). Aunt Stephie and Uncle Jon were kind enough to help us out by watching Lauren all day and night Saturday and even Sunday morning!

We had a blast!



As we were walking around Saturday, we saw the set for Transformers 3, which is being filmed in Chicago. I have never been so close to an actual movie set before. It was pretty interesting.



A view of the set from the top of our hotel. There's a bar up there called, The Roof (appropriate) where we had pre-concert cocktails and a light dinner.



Kid Rock opened up for Bon Jovi and while on stage he called out some Blackhawks players who showed up with the Stanley Cup! Kid Rock put on a wonderful show. I was really surprised at how talented he is.



My man, Bon Jovi! The concert lasted for about 5 hours and Bon Jovi sang for almost 2! Quite an accomplishment for a man his age.



Bon Jovi and Kid Rock even sang a few songs together.



The two of us at the concert.
