Reading Festival

The one thing my husband swore he was going to do before we left the UK was go to see an outdoor music festival.  When he heard that Metallica was headlining the 2nd day of Reading Festival, well, needless to say he was determined that we were going to go to Reading Festival.  Metallica is his favorite band of all time and we last saw them in concert right before we moved over here.

The day started really early in the morning with us handing our children off to some very kind neighbors who kept them for the day and over night.  Then we hit the road.  It took us nearly 4 hours to get there due to horrible traffic on the M25, but we kind of expected that. After that little bit of horrible was whole a lot of epic.










We saw eight acts in an afternoon.  The energy was amazing.  Metallica played 18 songs over two and a half hours.  I was so buzzing after the end of their set I didn't even mind the hour long walk back to the car.  Bucket list item- check.
