This past weekend, we decided to escape for a quick weekend getaway for Chris's birthday. We dropped the boys off at my mom's Saturday morning and drove over to St. Louis. We had plans to go to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Concert that evening for Chris's birthday. He always wanted to see them in concert...close location, a free hotel, a weekend away before the arrival of baby #3 was all good reasons to go for it. We did some dining, but unfortunately didn't get much shopping in due to the traffic and crowds. A nap was calling my name louder after driving around for a parking spot for more than 30 minutes.
That evening we enjoyed a nice dinner before heading to the concert. The concert was awesome! The lights, the special effects, the mix of instruments, and resulting music was just incredible. It was amazing to see the rockin' violins and guitars performing together. Definitely a must see for anyone who enjoys their music.
The next morning, we had a nice quiet breakfast before heading home to the boys. It was so peaceful, and a little weird, to have the silence of a 3-hour car ride. Once we picked up the boys, we were back to the non-stop talking and singing car rides. It was nice while it lasted...
