Tag: John Paul Jones Arena

The Saturday after Thanksgiving I won two tickets from my company to their box at UVA’s John Paul Jones Arena to see the game between UVA and LeHigh University. Jess and I made a day of it starting out with some cider shopping at Albemarle Ciderworks and Potters Craft Cider to try out some new varieties and stock up for winter.

Our next stop was Mincer’s to pick up some UVA attire followed by a quick visit to The Lawn.

Finally we arrived at the game (showed our COVID vacination cards to get in) and found our seats in the box. It was a great view and there was an entertainment area. It was also great to see some co-workers I had either never met in person or hadn’t seen in person for quite some time.

UVA won and Cavman even stopped by the box.

Mumford & Sons came to Charlottesville and we were able to see them play.  Before the concert we stopped for dinner with Jen and Janek at The Local in Charlottesville for a fantastic meal. At the concert the stage was set up square in the middle of the floor and our seats were in the corner. It was a cool setup having people all the way around.

We spent the night in Charlottesville and then next day we visited Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards and Albemarle Ciderworks.

Jimmy Buffett has been on my to-see concert list for a long time and Jess got us floor seats to see him play at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville. We made a weekend of it going out for dinner in  Charlottesville before the concert and spending the night at the Inn at Darden.

Caroline Jones opened and was great.  The floor seats were awesome and we had so much fun!
