Va-Va-Voom


Back in what was probably early May, my boyfriend Oscar and I were talking about music.  He told me about Bassnectar and asked me if I liked him, and I had never heard of him.  I listened to some of his stuff, and absolutely loved it immediately.  Oscar told me about a concert that was in Morrison, Colorado at the Red Rocks Amphitheater.  The venue was incredible, and I was all for going.  Once I knew for sure that I didn't have to work, we bought tickets.  We didn't do any planning until after we had our tickets, which was kind of crazy, but we had such a fun time and it all worked anyways.  
This will mostly be a post full of sweet pictures I took during the trip. Enjoy!

 If you ever buy tickets throught TicketMaster online, always choose the will call option.  They will hold hard copy tickets for you at the event center, and you don't have to use the crappy print out page.  All you need is your ID and the card you purchased the ticket(s) with. 
These. Are. Amazing.  Everyone needs a healthy dose of junk food when they are on the road.  This might be my go to food. 
 The view for the whole ride for me.  My amazing boyfriend was extra amazing (like he is everyday) and let me sleep in as long as possible the morning we left.  I went to a rodeo the night before and didn't get to his house until about 12:30 am or 1.  We didn't go to bed until around 3 or later, and he woke up early to make sandwiches.  He also drove the whole way there while I took two naps, even though he got less sleep then I did.  I'm pretty lucky :)
 There were random TeePees here for some reason. It's pretty cool to see how much things change from state to state.
 I love this guy :) He is so good to me. 
 This was taken through some goggle things. I'm not sure what they're called. 
 Morrison, Colorado. Gorgeous.
 The drive into Red Rocks amphitheater. 
 Another shot of beautiful Colorado

 Yep, we're weirdos. 


 One of the friends we made out there. She was from Tennessee and absolutely adorable!
 Rebekah and Houston.  They are moving up to the Midwest and will only be a couple hours from me, and one hour from my boyfriend! Super exciting!

 My better half <3
 Group picture with the lovely Colorado behind us.
 I love this picture, but it kind of looks like we are in front of a fake background.

 A shot of the amphitheater.
The stage and some of the beginning crowd!

 My glow sticks before they got taken away by security. Sad day. I spent a whole whopping 97 cents on a bag.

 This dinosaur was part of a dinosaur museum out in Nebraska somewhere. Pretty funny to see!


Drinking wine while at Olive Garden, even though we hadn't showered and were exhausted.

This was how long our trip was, from start to finish and all the in betweens.
 This is a lot, but it was worth every mile we drove.



 Lights on the canyon that we were in.





 They let bags of balloons out mulitple times during the show.  It looked awesome, especially with the lights.
