With summer, in our small town, comes many fun activities, events, and gatherings. One of our favorites is the La Plata Summer Concert Series on the lawn at Town Hall. It's like something out of feel good movie, or an episode of The Wonder Years. Seriously, this summertime staple in our neck of the woods makes us love where we live more and more. Families lay out quilts on the lawn, marking their spot, then set up dinners of fried chicken, subs, or even a pizza. You are sure to run into someone you know, but on most evenings you're bound to see several familiar faces. "How've ya'll been?" is heard quite a lot on these evenings. In fact, most folks have started to show up an hour or so early just to have the time to chat, before the music starts. Every Friday evening from June to September the Town of La Plata puts on a free concert for anyone to come enjoy. Bands range from southern rock, to traditional Irish tunes and even the US Air Force Band.
A 45 minute drive from the District, we find ourselves in a little bubble on these Friday evenings, where life slows down, we enjoy good music, a warm breeze and time with people we love.
We will be out there on the lawn tomorrow evening. If you're in the area or close enough to drive down our way, come on out and say hi. We'd love to share some blanket with you.
Here are some quick photos of our last visit to the summer concert series...
yes please...
Did you think we'd post something without throwing in a few of Sweet Cheeks?
yummm, dinner on the lawn.
Kisses for Mama (even though they're more like bites)
There's nothing quite like a small town on a summer evening...
Stay cool everyone!
