Date night!

Jack and I were so blessed with a nearly free date night on Monday night - all we paid for was a bottle of soda at the concert! Our friends Dan & Stacie offered to watch Evan for us. We went out to dinner in Saratoga at Forno Toscano Bistro, a gorgeous Italian restaurant right on Broadway. We were able to use a gift card from Jack's company Christmas party.

Then we were thrilled to be able to see Celtic Woman at SPAC. We had gone to their concert at Proctor's in March as a Christmas present and had such a great time. I was excited to hear they were coming back to the area, but a little hesitant to buy tickets thinking it would be for pretty much the same show. Good thing I hesitated because Jack's boss is on the board at SPAC and got us 4 tickets in the 4th row behind the orchestra pit for FREE! We invited our fellow fans and friends Andy and Aubrey and we had a blast. No kids for either of us!!




The show was INCREDIBLE. It was the perfect night for the outdoor venue. Again, we were blown away by the angelic yet powerful voices, the thunderous drums, the prancing fiddler, and the world-champion bagpiper they recently added to the group. So much of the music takes Jack and I back to our trip to Ireland. We want to go back to badly!

I couldn't embed this particular YouTube video in the post, but I hope you check out the link! This was their opening song.
