"What the hell... It's Bonnaroo!"

It's been far too long since I've posted about our trip...

Since Denver, we went to Bonnaroo and the Great Smoky Mountains. Now we are in North Carolina at Lake Normand visiting with Darren's family friends. It's beautiful here on the lake. We enjoyed swimming, sleeping in a comfy bed, doing laundry, and relaxing while here. There's not many pictures to share (Victoria took most of the pictures and will post those to FB from Bonnaroo), so this post will be short and sweet.

Darren and I highly recommend Bonnaroo! We had a great time with our friends Russell and Victoria and her family. We really want to go next year, and we think Molly and Greg would love to go too!!! I don't know the line up for next year yet, but if it looks good, you can count on Darren and me going. In that case, here are 10 things to remember for Bonnaroo 2014:

1. Pack a pop-up tent to block the sun and keep dry in the rain
2. Arrive Thursday morning
3. Get a handicap tag for the car
4. Get to the headliner stage at least 1 hour prior to the show
5. Bring body paint
6. Paint the car windows
7. Don't eat the giant burritos
8. Get your hair washed at the Garnier Fructis tent fo free
9. Pack toilet paper in your day pack
10. Bring head lamps to the last show of the day, so you can find your tent!

The best concert at Bonnaroo had to be Jack Johnson. I love him! His "What the hell... It's Bonnaroo" song was my favorite. Check it out here. My other favorites were Tom Petty and Macklemore. 

The Great Smoky Mountains were uneventful. It rained for 2 days. It was very green there. Other than that, Darren and I have seen more beautiful landscapes on our travels.

We are headed in D.C. tomorrow to spend time with my cousin Jim! We should be in CT by Sunday. Wow... it's been over a month since we've left, and we've done and seen so much. I can't believe it's time to go home already!
