Another face at Zanzibar!

Recognize those lyrics? Probably not. Eric does though. As he does for ALL Billy Joel songs. We were totally spoiled on Saturday and got to go out to dinner and then to the one-night only Billy Joel concert! My Dad won tickets to the concert and was so excited to send us in his place.

For those of you who don’t know Eric and I are both huge Billy Joel fans, with Eric nearing fanaticism. It was an incredible show. We’ve been as a couple to see him twice (once with Elton John) and Eric has seen him a couple of other times. For Eric, Billy Joel’s music is not only a emotional fit, but a religious experience. We always have fun on our date nights, but getting to rock out, watch Eric be overwhelmed by the music, and laugh at Billy Joel’s self-deprecating comments was a special treat.

Getting ready to go!

A nice dinner full of adult conversation.

Adult conversation? What’s that?

Yes! Adult conversation!
And Billy Joel?!?! It’s like Christmas!
Waiting for the show to start!


We didn’t take any other pictures inside since I had left my camera in the car and Eric’s phone camera wasn’t getting good shots. We were in great seats – made even better by the fact that Billy Joel’s piano turned to face both directions throughout the night. While Billy Joel looks significantly older the night made me feel like it was ‘back in the day’.

So much fun!

Afternoons…

As many of you know my Dad is a photographer – he’d say that he’s an amateur photographer but some of his work is more than mere ‘dabbling’.

He recently entered a contest through Outdoor Photographer. The contest is in the People Choice voting period…so come on people, let’s vote!
