Fest On!

Well folks, I've upgraded. My little green Patron box is no longer big enough to contain me and all of my accessories, so Liv customized a bigger little box for me. The accommodations were quite comfortable as I traveled to Bethlehem, PA for Musikfest.

I assure you that I'm standing perfectly straight. It's the sign that is leaning a little bit. One too many of those Musikfest beers perhaps?

The girls had smoothies with paper umbrellas in them. It was a good thing, because it was a hot day and a complexion like mine burns easily!


When they finished off their smoothies, they shared a funnel cake with me. What's a festival without funnel cake?


It wasn't all food and drink, though. We did listen to a lot of music. We also toured some of Bethlehem's historical points of interest.

I visited the water works, which was a very refreshing little break on a hot summer's day. I learned a lot about the rich Moravian history that is part of Bethlehem's story.


And the Sun Inn.


I tried to perch on the sign, but apparently there are rules against that sort of thing. The Sun Inn was visited by a lot of men of importance during the early years of this country's history, including: (click to embiggen)

After a week at Musikfest, we headed to the Jersey Shore. I had visited Wildwood before, this time I visited Atlantic City. Now THAT'S a town for a night owl!

Here are a few shots of me on the boardwalk. No pictures allowed in the casinos, you know!


I have a feeling my days of music festivals are not quite over. I hope not! I sure do like to shake a tail feather!
