Bonnaroo….
Let me start off by saying that Miss Possible is probably not going to be too happy that I’m writing this post. That’s because today marks the start of the Bonaroo Music Festival in Manchester, TN. I’ve attended this annual event for the past three years and Miss Possible has yet to miss one.
Until this year. As we try to save for the wedding, hoard vacation days for upcoming trips back east, and think about the complications of going all the way to TN for 4 days — we realized that it wasn’t pheaseable this year. We decided this back in February or March, when the tickets first went on sale. We were certainly disappointed at first, but we got over it.
Then came June, when the temperatures started to warm up.. the smell of summer was in the air.. and the thought of a summer without Bonnaroo finally came into being. For me, it’s been the summer kick-off party that gets things started on the right foot for the rest of the summer months to come. For Miss Possible, it’s been a ritual. While we’re both disappointed about missing out on the festival, I feel as though I’ve been more vocal about my nostalgia and have been reprimanded several times to not mention the ‘b-word.’
That being said, she’s not going to be happy about this post. There is a silver lining to this dark cloud, though. This Saturday, MP’s cousin arrives for a week-long visit to California and Sunday both MP’s parents and her Aunt & her husband be flying in from a weekend in Las Vegas. It’s going to be a very fun week, that will mean trips up to Napa, Touring San Francisco, and even a trip down to Monterey & Carmel.
We’re very much looking forward to hosting our next set of guests and can’t wait for their arrival. So, while we may be missing out on Bonnaroo.. we’re hoping to have planned an even better week that we can all enjoy.
