Jack Johnson!

Yesterday, me and my wonderful husband ventured to Vancouver to pick up my cousin Beth and her fiance, Daniel. Our mission...to go see Jack Johnson in live at St. Helens. This is us on our drive to St. Helens. Can you see the excitement??!!!
This us after we hit the traffic and had only traveled 2 miles in 15 minutes.

Finally we get into St. Helens, and take the left that our GPS and mapquest directions told us to. It should have tipped us off then that maybe we were taking a wrong turn when all of the traffic was still going straight. Turns out that the directions were taking us to Columbia meadows, Oregon near Dear point, instead of Columbia Meadows Amphitheater. So, here we were, going deeper and deeper into no man's land, when our GPS goes out on us. Then, the little cell service we had...GONE! Then, the batteries to the phone...DYING! WHAT! We thought we were in a horror movie. Beth and myself were being the stereotypical girls and were freaking out. We had Daniel stop on top of this hill, so we could try and get the GPS going. So David, be ha-freaking-larious, opens the door, and we started screaming. Not that we were being dramatic in the least. Once we hit the gravel road, we thought it was best if we turned around. Don't ask us why we didn't turn around earlier. Needless to say, the concert started at 7:00 and we got there just after 9:00. Jack had only been playing for about 20 minutes, so we didn't miss too much. Here we finally were, in the midst of his fabulous talent and 20,000 people! We enjoyed ourselves.
