Ashlie & Eric

Eric and I went to Canada for the Pemberton Music Festival. We were fortunate enough to be able to hang out with Danny and Melissa while we were there. It was so wonderful spending time with Danny and Melissa. We did a bunch of stuff and had a lot of fun.

While we were in Canada we stopped in North Vancouver to check out Grouse Mountain. We went Zip Lining, saw a Bird show, checked out a bird show, took the tram up the mountain and walked around. We also spent a morning checking out Whistler. What a great place. We all decided we had to go back and spend some quality time together while enjoying the great Canada outdoors.

Here is a view from the top of the mountain

Walking to the concert. The traffic was horrible...and the parking was awful! We had to park at the airport and walk down the tarmac. Here is Eric already excited.

The beautiful mountains surrounding the concert.

Entering Canada.

Eric was so excited when he found these giant bags of dill pickle sunflower seeds.

Too loud. The first night of the concert was NIN and Wolfmother (to name a couple) and it was a little too loud for Ashlie.

The tram up the mountain

The concert was in a field. Literally a giant field of hay. So we spent a lot of time with half of our faces covered. But that didn't stop Melissa from rocking out.

We went to this place nicknamed "the stupid store" They have everything in there including some randomly named candies. Eric found this one named "Mr. 2 Big"

The candy bar....Eat More

In Pemberton you are not allowed to bring potatoes...and here is a sign to prove it.

The Flamming Lips were one of the acts we saw. They had THE most random show. Including teletubbies, the lead singer in a giant clear bubble, and a lot of confetti.

When we were on the Mountain Eric decided to show off some of his gymnastics skills.

Jay-Z was one of the acts, he put on an amazing show.

BEARS! They were in a big outdoor cage, but they were cool nonetheless.

We were also lucky enough to see Coldplay. It was a great show and Eric and I pushed our way up to the front so we can saw them up close and personal.

some of the random people we saw. Needless to say we saw some interesting people at the concert. And here are some of them.

Some of the other acts we saw were: Tom Petty, Matisyahu, Nine in Nails, Wolfmother, Interpol, My Morning Jacket, the Tragically Hip, Vampire Weekend, N.E.R.D, Death Cab for Cutie, Coldplay, Jay Z. We had a great time in Canada. A lot of laughs, a lot of great music, and beautiful scenery. We are excited to head back to Canada sometime in the near future and spend some more time with Danny and Melissa.

Eric and I took a trip to Denver in July to see the Mile High Music festival. It was the first year for the concert and we were happy we could be there for the inaugural event. Some of the acts we saw: John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, Tom Petty, Brett Dennen, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Gavin Degraw, OAR, Messe, OneRepublic. We did a lot of random things as well (checked out Denver, went to Boulder, went to a baseball game) and here are some pictures of our adventures.

Rockies game. We got free tickets to go to the Rockies game. It was a really fun night.

Some random monkey art at the Music Festival. The festival was at the Dick's Sporting Goods Complex. Basically it is this huge place with soccer field after soccer field. It was an amazing set up.
