Stagecoach Country Music Festival

We headed out to Indio, CA for 3 days of country music. We joined up with some of Shaun's family (sister Amanda and her husband Brian, and sister Jessica) to have some fun in the sun. We drove out to the desert on Friday afternoon and got there in time to hear Craig Morgan, John Fogerty, and the Eagles. They had so much to see and do (in addition to listening to the music). We went on a test drive of the Toyota Tundra in an off-road course they created with steep hills and embankments. It was fun and the Tundra is a nice truck, but since the professional driver laughed when Christie asked if they'd be making it in a Hybrid, we figured it probably isn't going to be our next car.

Some strange art

Day 2 was filled with sun and a lot of food and country music. Dierks Bentley, Taylor Swift, Bucky Covington, Rascal Flatts, and the Judds were all fun to listen to.

The Judds!

Day 3 was another great day. Chuck Wicks, Trace Adkins, Gretchen Wilson, Big & Rich, Carrie Underwood, and Tim McGraw.

There were alot of people at Stagecoach. Our seats were this far from the mane stage even though we got there around 1 pm (early considering the concert went until 11:30).

By the end of the 3 days, we were ready to head home. But instead we made a quick trip up to LA to watch the Dodgers.
