We spent the weekend listening to some great music and visting with family at Merlefest. We were very impressed with how family-friendly the event was -- they even had a "R&R" tent set-up with changing tables and cots for kids to nap on. Ella couldn't get enough of the Dancing Stage, especially during Donna the Buffalo's performance.We took a beautiful drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway all the way home, and stopped for a picnic lunch near Blowing Rock at Moses Cone Park.
