So not only did this Blizzard cause us to shorten our vacation, but it was threatening our chance to Bon Jovi in concert!! And on opening night of their tour, nonetheless!! My sister had bought the tickets months ago and the concert was tonight. In the aftermath of a blizzard. With a travel ban on all roads by the Governor. It wasn't seeming like it was going to happen. We not-so-patiently watched Mohegan Sun's website and facebook status and Bon Jovi's facebook status all. day. long. Finally around 4pm, the Governor lifted the travel ban, which just so happened to be the time that Bon Jovi and MoSun announced that the concert would be postponed to October 25th. Phew! We wouldn't miss it!! But wait...just a few minutes later, Richie Sambora tweeted that they would be putting on a free concert at 5pm for all of those who were already at the Sun! Well, if you know my sister and her love for Bon Jovi - she wouldn't dare miss out on a local Bon Jovi concert...and a 'free' one nonetheless! So we bundled up our little AJ, got into the 4Runner and headed off to Colchester to pick up Kimmy! The roads weren't all that bad and we safely made it to the Sun around 5:30pm and walked right into the arena. It was so strange to just walk right in with not having to show a ticket or anything!
All bundled up and ready to go pick up Cioci to see her favorite man, Jonny!
We first went down to the floor...just because we could!
A little overexposed Jonny, but still our Jonny!
We then decided to go up in the seats to get a better view...
He always puts on a good show!
Jonny came down onto the catwalk for a few songs.
The classic 'Wanted Dead or Alive' shot
Michael dropped off AJ at Babcia and Dziadzi's house where he would be safe and off the roads. Luckily, Michael made it back in time for the last song...'Livin on a Prayer'!
The boys!
