Since John's accident, he's done a great job staying upbeat and positive about his situation. He keeps reminding himself that it could be a lot worse and he knows he will get better. The good news is that we've been able to do a lot more family stuff-- instead of passing the baton so each of us can get our solo adventures in....... But, it's been hard for him to sit still and not be able to get out and enjoy the fabulous fall we are having. So when he heard about a music festival in North Adams, MA that had a line up he dreams about, he made it clear that he wanted to go. I had already committed to a birthday gathering at a yurt on Saturday night, so I told him he should go on his own for Sunday. For some reason, he really wanted all of us to go with him (3.5 hour drive each way). So, I woke up early from my "sleepover", met him at the Richmond Park and Ride and adventured down to Mass MoCa for the day:
We got there just in time to see Jerry Douglas and went on to see Sam Bush, Green Sky, the String Dusters, and more.
Like all good festivals, there were plenty of craft activities for the kids, tasty food, and fun music to dance to.
John was so happy to be there. I was too, once we were there and home..... I could have done without the 7 hours in the car, but it was a small price to pay.
