O+


We've been on the road a lot recently.  I like traveling and getting away.  I do not like having to worry about finding Zephy care, packing for three member of the family, having to clean the house, load the car, remember iPad, chargers, activities for the car, and snacks.  Invariably I forget something, but usually it isn't super important.  John had been dreaming about going to the O Positive Festival in Kingston, NY for almost a year.  It's a gathering of artists and musicians, doctors, and health practitioners.  The idea is to offer free wellness services to under insured artists in trade for a weekend full of art and music. 


Kingston is a very hip town, made even hipper by this fantastic event.  We drove down on Friday night and stayed with our friends Tim and Sophia (although Sophia is in Milwaukee for ten weeks performing in a play) and their dear kids, Beckett and Iris.


Saturday was a gorgeous day and we had a great time checking out wall art installations, listening to music, and eating great food from a farmers market.




To end the day, Tim treated us to a harvest dinner fundraiser for a local nonprofit.  The kids continued to have a ball.  Swinging like monkey's from the tent and wrestling with each other.



They really do have fun with each other, sometimes. 



And they are goofballs!



Sunday was spent watching a kids music band and driving home.



We are all a little road weary, but so glad to have been where we have gone this past month.
