My Birthday Staycation--and ELTON JOHN!!!

Jeff surprised me with a Spokane Staycation for my birthday weekend!  He'd wanted to get tickets to see Elton John, but at Christmas, my parents surprised all of us with tickets to go as a family!  Even better!  So Jeff continued on with the weekend plans, arranging for us to stay at the Davenport Lusso (the one we hadn't been to yet) after Josh's basketball game on Saturday.  But first, The Yards!

Night one:  Dinner at Sushi.com and games with the V's!

(Meanwhile, back at the Lochhead Ranch, the kids were getting spoiled by G'ma and Papa!)

 We found a new coffee spot, Coeur.  De.  Licious.

And then, on Sunday night, the family arrived!  We ate dinner at PF Changs and then Ben drove us all to the concert.  We were running late, and there were only 6 seats in the car, so Jeff decided to run through the park to meet us at the Arena.  With traffic and entry, Jeff beat us by a long shot!

We teased Dad about setting off the metal detector with all of that hardware in his back.  :)  This concert was a fun celebration of his recovery this year!

Sir Elton John!

 Benny and the Jetsssssssss

Rocket Man

Tiny Dancer (AKA Tony Danza)

 Candle in the Wind

Tribute to George Michael--Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me

 Wahoo!  We made it through a crazy surgery year for Dad!  Such a fun night to remember this!

 It was such a fun night!  

We met up with Mom and Dad on Monday before they returned home...for some burger crowning!
