James Taylor

Bridget's birthday present was tickets to a James Taylor concert at Bethel Woods. The Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center is located on the same property as the original Woodstock Music Festival in 1969. It's an amazing venue to see a concert. The drive out to the Western Catskill's took us about an hour and forty minutes. It's hard to imagine 400 thousand young people trying to drive here, the traffic must have been insane.

We stopped at the Dancing Cat Saloon for an early lunch of hot wings and bacon cheese burgers. Good beer too!

Beer!

Before the concert we had time to visit the Museum that documented the first Woodstock concert. It was definitely worth checking out. A highlight for me was riding the "hippy bus" theater.

James Taylor was amazing! Our seats were in the lawn area, but we still had a good view of the stage. We sipped a Mike's Hard Lemonade and sat back and enjoyed the music and each others company.

James!

With my "Only One"!

We had a great time, but leaving was a real nightmare. We sat in the parking lot for over an hour before we got out of the complex. Next time we will be prepared with a stove for tea and some nice desert. Bridget fell asleep on the long ride home. That's ok, I was with my "Only One"!
