Date Night: Gavin DeGraw Concert

If Music Mondays are any indication of how much I heart music, then you all know that a good tune brings a smile to my face. And I've always been a fan of a good concert. There is something about live music that makes my heart beat and my soul soar. It doesn't hurt that Groupon was offering 4 tickets for $80 to Gavin DeGraw at Rye's Playland.



So we decided to make a date night out of it...easing back into the swing of things post vacation! We headed down south and east to Rye which is situated right on the beach in Westchester County. It has a serene and soothing feel plus an adorable downtown area. Playland is an amusement park with boardwalk restaurants, roller coaster rides, and water slides that happens to double as a lawn-type concert venue. All tickets are GA so we decided to bring our REI camp couch to sit in. **Preggos and sitting on the grass do not make for a good combo I imagine** And they allow you to bring your own food 'picnic-style' which made for a nice little Chipotle treat for us.

We really enjoyed the evening complete with cool weather, fabulous music, sweet snuggles, and great people watching. We shared several laughs at the surrounding concert go-ers who were either teeny-boppers singing along to all of Gavin's new lyrics or old foggies dancing moves that had us in hysterics. Ahhh to be young again and to make a list of things NOT to do as we age.

One thing is for sure, some things have definitely changed since becoming pregnant when it comes to concert hopping...
