We've had a few busy back-to-back weekends.

3 weekends ago we had our anniversary and went to go see Clapton (great
show!)

Last weekend we had my parents in town.

This past weekend we went to Vegas to see the Dave Matthews Band and the Fray at MGM. It was a great show! The crowd was really energetic and it sounded great. Maybe cause I'm used to seeing them in outdoor amphitheaters, but this show seemed different.

We had stage left nose-bleed seats. The view was ok, but it was on the extreme side of the stage. Luckily some girls sitting next to us asked if we would trade tickets with their friends so they could all sit together. We ended up sitting at center court about half way up the first section. So we definitely lucked out with these better seats.

Here's the set list from the show:

We stayed about 5 miles off the strip at the Southpointe hotel/casino. It was a nice place. Nice facilities, rooms and casino. Saturday was the only time we went to the strip (and that was only for the concert). Otherwise, we laid it low in our off-strip casino. We played some slots and ate at their restaurants.

On Sunday we both went to the spa for a massage. Both she and I got Swedish massages. I'm not really big into massages, but it was definitely nice. So now that the wifey knows that I like massages, her mind is starting to think about other spa-related get always. I made only one caveat: If we go away for a weekend, one day can be spa related, but then another day has to be a Jamie "fun day" (hiking, concert, etc.) We'll see how that works out.

I brought my camera for the weekend, but I didn't end up taking a single picture... So, no photos this time.
