Festival

Jason's parents came over this weekend to spend some time with us. We always try to think of fun things to do in the area when they come over, so we took them to GR's annual Festival of the Arts. It's a free festival with artists of all kinds (singing, dancing, etc.) performing on several stages throughout downtown. There's something for everybody. You just can't beat all of the entertainment for free!

Of course, it just wouldn't be Festival without the food! Organizations from the area sell all kinds of delicious food. It's so much fun just to walk up and down the street smelling all of the wonderful treats - Chinese to Italian and everything in between. Jason and I got souvlaki and baklava while his parents had some authentic steak fajitas. The night just wouldn't be complete without an elephant ear, which Jason's mom so graciously let us share :-)

Festival just couldn't go by without some exciting weather. It seems that every year, at least part of the festival gets stormed out, and this year proved to keep up with the tradition. The weather really was perfect while we wandered the streets, but we left just in time. A severe thunderstorm rolled into the area right as we got home, shutting down Festival once again. I'm just glad that it held off, and we were able to share the fun of Festival with Jason's parents.
