4th
of July 2006
On Monday, July 3 we left Salisbury, MD and drove to Norfolk, VA.
As we drove over the chesapeake bay bridge-tunnel we got to watch the sunset over the bay as
we drove across the 20 mile long bridge.
We checked into the beautiful Waterside Marriott. Our room was on the 23rd floor facing the bay.
We met Sandra and David there. Their room was on the 21 floor facing the bay.
We arrived a little before them and arranged a birthday
surprise for Sandra, a spa gift basket, 2 dozen roses,
AND 2 DAVE MATTHEWS BAND TICKETS to the 4th of July show
This is the band's first July 4 show since a 6-song festival set in Belgium on 7.4.98..
and is sure to be a blast.
Sandra's Birthday surprise view from their room
The next morning after a good breakfast, We walked to the waterside marketplace where
we had a great time at Jillian's playing games.
It was a beautiful day.
We took a stroll outside and then took a paddle boat ride over to Portsmouth
(to Sandra's surprise we didn't have to paddle the boat ourselves)
We stopped at Roger Brown's sports bar in portsmouth to get some lunch.
After a nice lunch we took the ferry back to Norfolk and got ready to go see
The Dave Matthew's Band in Virginia Beach.
The concert was fantastic, we had great seats center stage front row on the second level.

DMBand.com Road Page Notes
It was a hot and humid evening in Virginia Beach, but that didn't hold back DMB.
We were honored to have John D'earth, a long time friend of the band, sit in with his trumpet on a few tunes.
We were treated to fireworks tonight as the band finished off the encore with Stay.
The display started a few minutes before the end of the tune and continued for another five.
The band hung out on stage to watch as Hendrix's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner played over the PA.
The crowd cheered on. It was a great moment. Happy 4th y'all, we'll see you tomorrow in Scranton.
