We heard about a "hidden secret" jazz festival on the radio and it just so happened to be in Salem, Virginia - about 15 minutes down the road from us.
This turned out to be the perfect study break I (Dorina) could look forward to. I've been working on my final grad school paper due on Monday afternoon. I definitely needed a carrot.
We invited some friends to join us for a picnic dinner and some live music. We grabbed a front row picnic table right near the playground and had the best of all worlds.
I felt like I was home in Chicago with this fabulous, straight ahead live jazz music at an outdoor festival. The band's singer, Rose, even did a few Norah Jones tunes.
We celebrated our friend Heidi's birthday with a homemade cake by Ricky (in the hat). Heidi hung out until the end with the Gilmores. Meilani danced to the sounds of the sax, organ and drums.

Hi Dorina,
Good food and music, AGAIN? You sure you want to come back to California?
Love, Jen
