Another fun run…..
And my mother-in-law came out for this one.
We were going to a concert that included an after party “white” party.

And then we left the event….
Headed back around front…..
And grabbed a few beers.
Funny how no one recognized him when he came out to the crowd.
That’s OK, he recognized me!!!
Our next Wolf Trap show.
The lawn was quite full….
And the show was great.
The after party was held at Jammin Java.
There was food….

Peter stuck to the shirt when going through security.
After we were inside, we needed some beer.
And to buy 10, we had to show 5 IDs.
The show was sold out, and lots of fun.
We had a picnic bench off to the side.
From there we could see a screen showing Jack Johnson…
Without having to get caught up in the crowd.
Seriously, silly bands are out of control.
Joe and Jen were kind enough to let us check out a couple of songs from their seats.
They were fourth row behind the pit.
And we were very thankful for the chance to see Jack Johnson….
Up close.
Looks like someone sat in some mud.
Rounding out the weekend was a nap…
With her favorite little dog……
Beofre heading to Artscape to see Rebelution.
The day was HOT!!!
For such a hot day, there were lots of people on hand for the event.
We ended our day enjoying some sangria at Tapas Teatro.
Like patchouli oil.
With the AC not working, we did what we could to stay cool.
Have you ever seen 3D chalk?
My brother hooked me up with a couple of cucumbers from his garden.
It was time for the old AC….
And furnace to make an exit.
The new furnace….
And condenser unit.
