Celebrating Yanni celebrating his Acropolis Tour

Last Sunday night, my husband, niece, and her husband saw Yanni at the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in Vienna, Virginia. It was my third time seeing Yanni at Wolf Trap. This time he was celebrating the 25th anniversary of his Live at the Acropolis tour. It’s rained a lot in Northern Virginia this summer, so I was worried about that, but the weather was perfect. We didn’t have to suffer the heat and humidity as in past concerts there. I had told my niece that Yanni and his orchestra would blow them away and he didn’t let me down. He played all my favorites, spending two and a half hours on stage. And yes, he blew us away. All I can say is WOW!

City of Manassas 4th of July fireworks

The City of Manassas 4th of July fireworks were excellent this year. The past two years were disappointing to me -- cloudy and overcast in 2016 so after the first few fireworks, all you saw was smoke. And last year it rained so I stayed home for the first time ever. But this year, Mother Nature cooperated and Manassas brought it -- I think they were the best ever! During the finale, you could feel it in your chest and the ground felt like it was shaking. And the noise was sooooo loud. It was too cool.

This was the aftermath
