Lyle Lovett

Last night was full of firsts for me. We had tickets to a concert in the city last night so I drove into Sydney and met Jared at his office. He also had a work dinner to go to and since I was meeting him, I got to tag along (dang it) ;). So for my first first...I had my very first ride in a TAXI. Yep, it is true. I have never had a ride in a taxi car. We rode from North Sydney over the Harbour Bridge to Circular Quay...total of 6 minutes. When we got out, Jared asked me.."So, what did you think...how was it?" It felt like riding in a car with a lot more buttons and gadgets. haha, but now I can say I have been in a taxi. woohoo! :)

The fancy pants restaurant that we went to with his work was called Doyle's and it was right on the ocean over looking the Opera house and Harbour Bridge. Although we have lived here for over a year, the sight of those two landmarks still takes my breath away. So the pic above is taken at the restaurant. It was pretty spectacular. So some more firsts, I hadn't eaten at a fancy restaurant in circular quay and I also tried a snapper fish dish (I think that is what it was called). It was SO good!! Jared & i determined that I am a seafood lover, just not that kind of seafood that you have to pick apart with your hands. I like fish, not prawns and lobster types of seafood. Jared loves it all!

Since we had parked our car at the office, we took a nice stroll through circular quay to the train station to catch a quick ride to town hall for the concert. We stopped and got a double scooper on the way....and like a true pregnant lady I dripped it all over my belly. It was actually really funny & classic!

We turbo walked to the concert hall (I made Jared snail pace it a few times because my stomach started contracting and I wasn't up for having this baby delivered by Dr. Jared Finch with a pocket knife...hahaha) So a friend from Jared's work had tickets to see Lyle Lovett but last minute he was unable to go so he gave the tickets to Jared. I will admit I wasn't familiar with most of his music, but I did know he sang the "You've got a Friend in Me" song from Toy Story & awhile back he was married to Julia Roberts...ok..I didn't really know all that...Jared told me ;).

It was held in a beautiful concert hall. I took this pic and then got busted 5 seconds later...apparently there is no photography...oops!

It was a good concert. He did a few blue grass numbers which I love. We had a great seats and I only had to march up the stairs to use the ladies room twice during it. Apparently this little baby loves music because it was doing a jig on my bladder. One more month until we get to hold him/her. Very exciting!! To wrap it up, we had a great time together..hopped back on the train, fetched our car and drove home again home again jiggity jig, walked in and kissed all of our babies in their beds. :)
