Labor Dave Weekend
We attended our first concert as a family last weekend and had so much fun -DMB was the perfect band and the Gorge was (obviously) the perfect venue ✨
The idea came about rather last minute (the weekend before, Kevin proposed we go to the Saturday show). Through my teens and 20s, I went every summer for the full weekend, so I was only too happy to oblige.
DMB at the Gorge was a rite of passage growing up and it was amazing to be back after what felt like a very quick 14 years 💖
We left my parent's place in Leavenworth Saturday afternoon and headed to Moses Lake where we scored a hotel room for the night (with an outdoor pool, which the kids LOVED), then headed to the venue around 4pm.
The kids had a great time!
Abigail enjoyed dancing to the opening bands and making glow stick bracelets once the sun set; George had so much fun riding on our backs while we danced, then falling asleep on the lawn by 9pm; and Ben pretty much chilled - he wasn't outwardly happy or sad, he was just taking it all in.
Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see:
Kevin and I were surprised by how relatively easy the kids were. There are a few things we would tweak next year (namely, getting a spot at the top of the hill for better food / bathroom access, and over the ear headphones for the kids), but all in all it was a success!
We hope to see you again next year, DMB - thanks for a great show 💜
