Private Concert and the Atlanta Arts Festival

Yesterday, Allie, Harper, and I had one of those moments where we walked up on something so cool, it felt like we shouldn't be there.  I had that same feeling when Michael and I hopped on a boat across a lake in Switzerland.  We weren't sure if it was included in our Eurorail pass and didn't want to find out that it wasn't, so we just jumped aboard.  It was so beautiful and probably more fun because maybe we weren't supposed to be there.

The final destination of the boat, Chateau de Chillon in Montreax.  Bonus points if you know whose poem made the Chateau famous!

So maybe what happened today wasn't quite as exciting and it was totally okay for us to be there:  We got a mini private concert at the Botanical Gardens from Colbie Caillat and Andy Grammar.  We just happened to be in the gardens when they were warming up, while all the people with tickets for the show were lined up outside.  I didn't know who they were because I'm out of the music loop, but I did know several of CC's songs.  Here is a music video of hers that is cute and funny in a weird way. You know the song, right? She warmed up and performed that song for Allie and Harper and two other kids.  Then Allie and Harper had Andy Grammar all to themselves for his warm up.  He sounds like an even more upbeat John Mayer.  I'm a little shy to admit that sometimes you just need some happy John Mayerish music for a little pep in your step. Anyways, he's so handsome and we had a personal concert, just me, Allie, Harper and the sound team!

Today we walked around the Atlanta Arts Festival in Piedmont Park.  We bought a hummingbird made out of a Cola-Cola can for our Christmas tree and a frame made out of a salvaged ceiling tile for a friend's birthday.

Double-decker.
