Getting to Alaska from Virginia takes a while. We flew from Richmond, VA to Chicago to Seattle to Anchorage. I believe our travels lasted about 14 hours before ending up in Wasilla at the doorstep of Boone's niece. There was some catching up to do for the family. I am new to the group so I really had to pay attention to keep up with the conversation. The bed caught my tired fall when we finally retired for the night. The next morning we had a hardy breakfast before heading out to the Midsummer Garden & Art Faire in Palmer, Alaska. This is my kind of thing for sure, but the main draw for us was to hear our host, John Cook, perform. Check out his Facebook page when you get a chance. Look for John Cook in Wasilla, Alaska.
Nothing like live music outside. The weather was perfect. We also did a walk about. Love the bark on this tree...yes, we are easily entertained.
There was plenty of dog watching.
There was food, of course
And ART! We struck up a conversation with artist Teri Loyer (see her Facebook page at Totally Photo Design) and discovered she is planning a trip to the east coast this Fall. She mentioned Humpback Bridge is on her list. Hello!!! Next thing she knows, she has an invitation to stay with me. Her itinerary took a sudden change. She gifted me this picture in anticipation of her visit to Virginia. Serendipity. Love it.
Later that evening we went to the Moosehead Saloon to hear John perform again. Another musician joined him on the stage to sing a song John wrote. Beautiful.
We had so much fun hanging out here with family. There was actually a Route 66 sign in this bar that matched the hat Boone wore!
Fabulous day. Let go the magic.
