A midsummer night's dream

Last night, Rachel, Janice and I went on our annual excursion to Wolf Trap, an outdoor concert arena in Virginia. (I say annual but we realized it's been three years since we'd been--how time flies...)

We went to see Riverdance, an Irish dance troupe that is just incredible. It was supposed to rain, but instead it was just a cool, breezy summer night. The show started at sunset and finished when the moon was high.

We bought lawn seats and brought our dinner ahead of time, set up shop on a blanket and noshed (my word of the night, apparently) on cheese, crackers, tarts, bread, pineapple, and a fabulous rosé Chad and I bought two years ago in Napa.

Here are a few moments from our pre-show picnic:

I read your blog and I wish "The Girls" were there too! Can you imagine if all of us were together - in public??? If our weekend at Phyllis's for Rachel's shower was any indication, we'd all be sitting in a Virginia county jail waiting for someone to post bail!!
