Bebel Gilberto

So I totally forgot to blog about the concert that we went to see her in concert a few weeks ago. She is the daughter of the Gil Gilberto and Astrud Gilberto who sang the song "The Girl from Ipanema." She is from Brazil and sang the song "So Nice" which was the song we danced to for our First Dance at our wedding. We have seen her in concert once before when we lived in SF near our old apartment. We dropped off Lukas at Jeannette's and headed over to our old neighborhood. The area felt so familiar and yet so long ago. We knew where to go since we had done the drive so many times while we lived there for 5 years, but it has been 2 years since we lived there and of course before Lukas was born.

It made us feel like we were that young urban couple again living in the city and on our way to see a concert. This is something we used to do without much effort. With Lukas, we are still able to do it, but with a lot more effort! It wasn't that long ago in terms of time, but it does feel different in terms of life stage. It's just another reminder of how our lives have changed in a short amount of time. If we get to do these types of things every once in a while, I don't think that we will miss much and we definitely feel like we got a better deal with Lukas.
