Thursday, July 8, Dad and I went on a little date. This is not the first date we've been on, nor will it be our last, I'm sure.
You see, we started these when I was in elementary school. My neighbor was in Indian Princesses, which was some sort of outdoorsy thing dads and daughters could do together. In theory, it was great. But not long after our first meeting where we chose "Little Bear" and :"Big Bear" as our Indian Names, Dad made a proposition to me.
The whole point was to spend quality time together. We could do that with 20 other people, or, he proposed, we could go on dates just the two of us. Well, being a lover of quality time with people in small groups, I instantly chose the dates. And we didn't have to camp or anything (a win/win for both of us, I think!)
So, back to our most recent date...
One of our favorite musicians is Marc Broussard, and he was playing at the House of Blues. After dinner at Uncle Julio's (my fave!), we headed Downtown.
You'd think that with all the concerts of Troy's that we sat stood through, we'd remember that nothing starts when the ticket says, and there are always opening acts. Well, we didn't. So we had some nice bonding time waiting out in the heat, and then we finally got to go in around 7:45, where there were two opening acts.
We've escaped the heat and found our seats!
The opener for the opener, a Canadian girls group.
In between acts, we talked a lot of music. I'm so grateful that my parents instilled a love for music in both me and Troy. We aren't really coordinated enough to dance well. We aren't very athletic. But we can sing and appreciate good music, and for that I am thankful.
Marc Broussard came on stage about 10:30. He was really great! He has a great stage presence, and he writes great songs. It was a fun time with my Dad. Here's to more Dad/Daughter dates!
