I just found out that he's also playing Haines, AK at their state fair on July 30. I jokingly said to my husband, "wanna go to both shows?". He replied--"might as well, he won't be back up here". For both of us to go to both shows is still going to be cheaper than the airfare to Vancouver was last time and I went alone to that show!

Haines is only a four hour drive from here--a spectacular drive at that. My father in law will take care of the critters for us--really only one night. We'd leave on Saturday afternoon and be back Sunday evening, so he'd have to feed the dogs once and scoop litterboxes. (the cats always have food out). I can take my kayak and actually use it on the ocean. Stuart can go salmon fishing on Sunday while I go paddling.

I can hardly wait!!!
