Our first stop was Home Depot to pick up some work lights I bought, and then we went to a little diner called Taylors&#8217; Made on the other side of Conway. Summer had breakfast food, and I got the reuben. It was all pretty good, but I didn&#8217;t care for the super thin onion rings. I wish we had tried some of the appetizers.<\/p>\n<p>As we got into Little Rock, I decided to go down to the Park Plaza Mall rather than the usual McCain. I figured it would be closer to the hotel, and we could kill enough time there until check-in time at the hotel. Summer was happy to look around but was reluctant to pick up anything. I got an armful of clothing from Dillard&#8217;s, which reminded me of how much I hated shopping there with my parents as a child. It was just always so boring, but now I get it. We covered most of the mall by about 3 in the afternoon, and then headed to the Wyndham Riverfront to get our room.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually Amanda messaged me back, and we met her at the Red Lobster for dinner. Sarah decide she didn&#8217;t want to go to the concert, so she brought her father along instead. Summer and I got our fix of endless shrimp, and then we headed back for the concert.<\/p>\n<p>We both parked at the hotel and walked the quarter mile or so to the arena. We were early, so we had to stand out in the heat for a little while before we could go in. Once the line started moving, I had trouble getting the TicketMaster app to load the tickets, but fortunately I saved them to Google Pay and that worked to get us in.<\/p>\n<p>The concert was incredible, but I was surprised they didn&#8217;t have the upper bowl open. We were in a lower section of removable seating right by the stage, so we could see everything really well. It was awesome having the orchestra there, especially seeing a McLovin lookalike on the French horn. They started off with some <em>Indiana Jones<\/em>, and we loved the <em>Superman<\/em> theme song. They took a 20 minute break after the warm up routine, and then Weird Al came out with his crew and performed a huge mix of songs I expected, as well as some I&#8217;d never even heard before. Afterward, Summer and I made our way through the merch line to get a couple shirts, and then walked back to the hotel for the evening.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4kE-RygXL9w\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<em>And protect them from the evils of the world, like trigonometry and prime numbers!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We got up a little early this morning so we could get out of town for lunch.
