This past Friday Damon and I left for Anaheim after lunch. Nana and Papa were here visiting and were watching the kids for us. The drive up was nice. Traffic wasn't to bad. Our hotel was close to the stadium, but not to close.
We were able to relax for a little bit and then walked to dinner. We went to Johnny Rockets, a great little 50's diner. We were the only ones in the place. The music and the food were good.
We went back to the hotel and then took a taxi to Angel's Stadium. To make a really long evening short, Lenny Kravitz came on at 7:30 and played for 45 minutes. He put on a good show. He rocked his guitars and sang all our favorite songs.
At about 9pm Ground Control to Major Tom, came over the speakers and the lights went low and out of the tunnel walks U2. They get on the stage and start playing I Will Follow. Then they continued to play one song after another for 2 hours. It was fabulous.
Loved every minute of it and now I finally get to cross off another thing on my bucket list which was see U2 in concert. I was very happy about that.
We didn't get back to our hotel until after 12am and then we had a hard time falling asleep. So we watched some TV and had a snack. The next morning we didn't get up until after 9am which is very rare for us. We had a relaxing breakfast and then headed out to the Newport Temple. We had never been there before and it is very pretty.
The drive home was ok. Traffic was bad, but you can't beat driving along the Pacific Ocean with the sun shining so bright. It was beautiful. It was a fun little get away.
