CMA Fest 2010 Has Come and Gone

The Past 4 days are a bit of a blur...to me its like Summer camp for grown ups. For 4 days you are hot and sweaty and get as little of sleep as possible, but have a blast the whole time.

This year my cousin Anthony came down from Ohio again and brought his friend Karen down for the Festival.

THURSDAY:
Anthony, Karen and I enjoyed the day shows...

I was all ready for day one of HOT!

FRIDAY:
Anthony, Karen and I went back to Riverfront to enjoy the day shows and were later joined by my Mom, James and my Dad. It was so fun having everyone there...the afternoon did get a little crazy thanks to the Vodka.

After the Riverfront shows, though I had planned to go with Dad to LP Field, Dad, James and I went to dinner and then Dad let James and I go to the night show. It was a really long day...I was so tired and ready for a shower and bed when we got home.
