Spring Break Weekend

So I thought I would suprise Tatum with a post on her blog. I still consider it hers since she is the sole contributor. It's spring break but we were only able to take off Monday from work so we stretched out our three day weekend into a fun-filled adventure.

Saturday, we went to the ASU baseball game. I highly recommend attending any of their games. They play well, the game moves a lot faster than professional baseball since their are no corporate sponsors who need their face time in between innings and ASU students get in free. Just be careful of foul balls. One was hit over us and we figured it had left the stands, but it hit the top, bounced backwards and right into Tatum's back. She's tough though, she didn't even rub it. I'm not a very protective husband as my first reaction to seeing the baseball coming back at us was to duck and cover. I'll work on that....




That night we went to the Jimmy Eat World concert with Brent and Amanda for the 10 year anniversary of Clarity. I'm not sure what my top 5 favorite albums of all time consist of just yet, but I know Clarity is at least #3 if not #1. It was a blast to hear them play those old songs they never play anymore. They played from beginning to end of the album, harmonizing the best they could and came on for an encore playing "still sitting their with your legs crossed" and "No Sensitivity". Those are a couple of my favorite older songs so it was fun to hear them played. They ended the show playing a mix of their new stuff, so all in all, it was a great time.



We finished off our weekend of fun on Monday with a hike to the Wind Caves. Its was a beautiful morning, perfect for a stroll in the desert. Tatum and I had never hiked that trail before (or any other trail for that matter) and were a bit disappointed in the "Caves". I would classify them as Wind Crevasses or Wind Dents, not quite Wind Caves. Either way, it felt a lot better to go out and hike rather than sleeping the morning away.



So there you go. It was a great weekend. Check out the videos of the concert.

I am so jealous. I wanted to go to that concert so bad. The East Coast tickets were gone in just a few short hours to a lot of scalpers.

We should all go hiking next time we are in town. That would be so much fun.
