Spokane Arena

We left Royal and met at the Freeman's (Darin, Angie, Dani, Katrina, Carley, Gracie, Deana & Taylor). When we got to Spokane we went to Rocky Rococo's for pasta & pizza. As we were leaving there was a girl (cowboy boots, blond, wavy hair, teen) who had us all do a double take. She was an amazing look-alike, we even got her to talk to Gracie (who was convinced it was the real Taylor). We saw her again at the concert and Darin went to talk to her and apologize for all of us gawking at her at the pizza place, she thought it was pretty cute how we were so star-struck. Waiting for the start of the show they had several things you could walk around and do, we convinced our girls to karaoke in front of the green screen (they were supposed to email the videos but we have not got them yet). It was one of the funnier things I have seen in awhile...

The concert started at 7:00, Gloriana played a few songs first and then Kellie Pickler opened. Taylor Swift started at 8:30 and played for over 2 1/4 hours! Lots of lights, costumes, dancers, she really made a production out of her songs. Carley and Gracie were a little shell shocked. There was a lot going on and it was loud (I actually like loud, but add in the 10,000 screaming girls and this was really loud). It was so long, Gracie actually fell asleep for the last two songs! Big Thanks to Darin who was man enough to take his girls and safely drive us all home!
