It’s not always about the location…

It’s what’s in the location that counts!!!
We found ourselves in the town of Chattanooga, Tennessee. This is not where we would normally do a girlfriend getaway, but we came to see our favorite band playing. We even brought a few other girlfriends to share in the entertainment.
This city brought us the Randy Rogers Band. You may be thinking who are these guys? Just let us tell you. They are a phenomenal country band out of Texas. They played for one night only at Rhythm and Brews, this was a remarkable establishment. The bar gave you that close intimate feeling that you can’t get when you are seeing bands in a large arena. If you are still saying who are these guys then download some of our favorite songs, “Kiss Me in the Dark”, “You Could Change My Mind,” “Wicked Ways”, and “Steal You Away”, just to name a few. This group was even nominated for Vocal Group of the Year by ACM. With a new cd coming out in August, Burning the Day, we girls cannot wait!!!
The players in the band are the nicest group of guys ever, which made this getaway even better. They autographed items, posed for pictures, and spent time talking with us. Where else can you get that much one on one attention from a great band?
We got a great deal from the Sheraton Read House. It was a fantastic hotel that offered free shuttle service to downtown. We chose to walk that night because our hotel was only a few blocks from all the local attractions and restaurants. We happened along a very cool restaurant called The Terminal Microbrewery, it was the perfect place for casual dining with great prices. It offered both indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect for people watching, one of our favorite past times. After the concert we were pleasantly surprised to find Taco Mac open for some more late night nibbles and drinks. Another must stop is Chattanooga Cupcakes for a sweet treat before heading back home.
To sum up, this girlfriend getaway was about what’s waiting for you in the destination, not the destination itself. For us girls it was a fabulous time spent with our best girlfriends and a fabulous band to listen to. Who could ask for more?
