OK – so I will try to be really good this summer and blog about our various adventures around the North Shore. Some will be amusing, others just plain informative. Read them or don’t – but if you choose to, I promise you’ll come away with a “Mom-O-Rama” perspective you could find helpful should you decide to try it yourself.

So, for Father’s Day, we had purchased Kenny Loggins tix at Ravinia…

We had a ball! It wasn’t a Kraft Kids concert, but there were still plenty of young ones around. Which provided plenty of entertainment, as they toddled about from blanket to blanket looking for the best graham crackers. I was digging the people watching - people with their candles on tables, full-out floral centerpieces, etc. I bet they were wishing they could dig into our box of Brown’s Chicken;)

We bought tix for the pavilion (kids must be 7!) - and we were glad we did. Kenny put on a fantastic show, plus we got some Richard Marx action, which was all kinds of awesome! The crowd was great, but we were right behind the handicapped section, which meant having to watch someone get dinner through a tube. A little disconcerting, but the nurse was nice enough to do it before the concert started.

And should you get tix, never, ever count on the weatherman to give you the straight poop. It was supposed to thunderstorm, but we were blessed with the most beautiful weather. Yay!

If you go, remember, parking in the main lot is $20, and all neighborhood streets require a parking pass - so get buddy buddy with someone if you can! If you forget a chair, you can rent one for $7 - two will get you a free side table! And bring a sweater or jacket to throw on later at night - you’ll be glad you did.
