We spent most of Valentine’s Day at Mizzou Jazz Fest.

After dropping off John, Andy and I watched the Hickman Jazz Ensemble. Then, we decided to walk to Top Ten Wines to spend a little bit of time together on Valentine’s Day. It was the perfect red wine day.

About 5 pm, we went back to the Rhynsburger Theatre to watch the Hickman Purple Jazz Lab and John. When we arrived, we saw Caleb, one of John’s best friends, so we sat with him during the performance.

They sounded great, earning a “I” rating. After the clinic part of the competition, it was announced that the Rock Bridge Jazz Ensemble was the Judge’s Choice winner and the Hickman Jazz Ensemble was the Command Performance winner. So, the four of us went to the final concert at the Missouri Theatre to watch both jazz ensembles and the Mizzou Concert Jazz Band.

We wrapped up Valentine’s Day with dinner at the Heidelberg. It was a fun time spent with my husband and two of my favorite teenagers. It was a great Valentine’s Day!
