Thanks so much folks. Mitch, I wasn't sure if they were real or not, but they sure looked real. Hubby said there was no way they could have grown that way. I guess he was right... (as usual! HA)

Everyone should try and make plans to attend the Festival. It's been going on since 1974. We drove about 2 1/2 hours to get there. The drive was up country lanes and highways and was very pleasant.

We had thought about getting a place to stay and starting very early in the morning. Instead, we chose to drive early and save our money. I'm glad we did. Hubby hates to spend money anyway, so it was a bonus to do it this way. There are campsites on the place that cost $10 to stay. We figured if we were too tired to drive home, we could have camped. We took an air mattress and air pump and could have stayed in our van.

As it was, we just drove on home and saw a beautiful sun setting behind us. Hubby told me to look in the mirror. When I saw that big red ball in the sky, I turned around in the seat and got this photo from inside the van while he was driving. It's not a great photo, but was a perfect ending to a perfect day.
