We came up with this 'kid swap' concept with the Olivers. Its great. Now that the kids are a little older, we take turns having each other's kids for a sleep over and give the other parents a break. Our original plans for our designated night fell through, so Dave and I found ourselves open on a Saturday evening. After a quick google search, I found out Dave Matthews Band was playing in St. Paul, which is so easy as an overnight trip. So, we lined it up! The only snafu- it was also Super Bowl weekend in Minneapolis so there were absolutely NO hotel rooms available. Fortunately, we found an Air BnB in South St. Paul- in somebody's basement, and he was home! Ha. We were hardly there, so it worked out great- the only real adventure involved was finding the place as our GPS lead us astray.
It was a great 24 hours- we did some furniture looking, eating, wandering, and had dinner with Leanne and Joe before the show. It was great to connect with them, fun conversation, so laid back- just what we needed.
The show was great! He played for 3 hours, most of the usuals with a couple of new ones tossed in. It was Dave's first experience- we had great seats and loads of wine. We walked to The St. Paul hotel for a post show drink before heading back to our basement. We slept like logs- woke up at 10am, its amazing how well we sleep when we don't have a kid or two in bed with us ;).
We hit the road asap on Sunday in order to get home to catch the Super Bowl. Everyone had a great time- it was a win all around.
