Celtic Thunder concert

We headed up to Portland..... a night in the big city.... a birthday gift!!!! Back in January, I had bought tickets for Ed's birthday... tickets to a concert that we have been hoping to see for a very long time. It's nice when you can give a present to someone, that you're going to enjoy just as much. But, from the time that I gave them to now... it has seemed like a long time.....

Here's the bus!!! We are really here and they are too... outside, it looks quiet, but once we entered the building, the place was packed... guess we were hardly the only fans....


And this is who we have come to see... Celtic Thunder.. touring the US from Ireland..... For years, Ed and I have love Irish music and we have "followed" a few different groups. But these young men are really really good. We have seen them a few times on TV, and one day always said, "we're getting tickets" well.. when I found out they were going to be right here... I got those tickets. 

We had really good seats, and I took pictures, but my little camera just couldn't get the shots. (so truthfully, I stole these photos off their website)... but the performance was really wonderful. They had an excellent mix of songs we knew and ones we didn't.....
I'm usually not a crowd/concert type of person, but this was a grand evening, and we have already decided that when they come back again.....
We will be there!!!!!
