sounds of summer

Last night we spent the evening the way a good summer evening should be spent - good friends, great music, in the gorgeous outdoors enjoying awesome food, tasty wine and a rockin' band.

We love taking advantage of all the local summer concert series at various venues around town. There just isn't anything better than listening to some good tunes, letting the kids run with their friends, and relaxing under the stars. Last night, we checked out the first summer concert of the season at Tarara Vineyard, in Leesburg. They have a beautiful setup right on the Potomac River, and the acoustics are fantastic. And we got to enjoy the sounds of U2 for only $15 a ticket verses $100 or more.

We enjoyed a bountiful selection of processed meats and cheeses:

U2 songs old and new. So many great songs over what...30 years or more now?

We went with our friends John and Paige, along with six other familes:

Logan thought about it, then remembered he doesn't know how to swim. He did end up with "The Edge's" guitar pick by the end of the night, so not all was lost:

Rock on "Bono"!
