Together with Alina and Justin, we bought tickets for John Mayer concert and embarked on a 2.5 hrs drive. Nah.. we are not exactly John Mayer fans but just bought the General Admission tixs so that we could enjoy the spectacular view. General admission tics are  the cheapest &#8211; we packed our dinner , brought a mat and pillows.. yes pillows.. to enjoy the concert. hahaha.. it feels like a mini camping trip BUT it was worth it. Food and drinks at the venue r VERY expensive!<\/p>\n<p>It was a beautiful sunny day.. we stopped at a viewpoint to appreciate the beauty<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMG_8987.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4103\" alt=\"IMG_8987\" src=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMG_8987.jpg\" width=\"512\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMG_8987.jpg 512w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMG_8987-300x256.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>These horses look REAL but they are not!

It was another 2.5 hrs drive home. Well.. the concert was alright.. maybe a little boring?! I mean.. John Mayer songs are slow BUT it was quite romantic to be lying on your back, star grazing and listening to soothing music. In case you are wondering, he didn&#8217;t sing <em>&#8220;Your body is a wonderland&#8221; &#8211; <\/em>maybe he sang it after we left?<\/p>\n<p>By the time we arrived home, it was 1.30am already!
