It started Friday evening, July 4th, when Clearly Vocal (well, 4 out of 5--Our bass is the director out at Camp Deer Run, so he couldn't be there) sang for a party at a local country club. From there, all four of us picked up our children and drove to Searcy where we dropped the kids off at John's mother's house and picked up my mom. This was about 3:30 am!
Fueled with adrenaline, we drove on to Nashville and enjoyed a big breakfast at Crackel Barrel. Then we went to see if our hotel rooms were available in Franklin--a long shot, I know, since check-in wasn't until 3pm. Thankfully, one was, so we (which is now Mom, Stefanie, Danny, John and I) all piled in and crashed for a while, taking turns getting cleaned up. We were still in our performance outfits from the night before!
Around noon we headed downtown to grab a bite before the concert. "What concert?" you might ask. Oh. THE concert. We had driven overnight so we could see The Real Group in concert in the United States for the first time in around 10 years! So, after lunch at Panera, we were finally headed to the concert. For the rest of the story, read what John wrote!
Truly a dream come true!

O-H -- M-Y --- G-O-O-D-N-E-S-S!!! How awesome was that!!! Loved, loved, loved it! How exciting for you! I expect "Clearly Vocal" to have their own concerts soon. :) Maybe you could even open for "The Real Group" in the beginning. :)
Wow...that was so great! I loved watching Aunt Carol boppin' in the background. And, I especially loved the view from under your belly. :)
That's so great! I love it when unexpected GOOD things happen! I know this will be something you will remember forever! Yea!
