We kicked the weekend off with the first of the season Full Moon Pickin' Party which has always been a favorite of ours, and this year was made even more special by coinciding with the first "Super moon" of 2013. The night was cool, so the crowds of families and dogs were large and playful, not stymied by the summer humidity that is so often the bane of our summers in Nashville. The Pickin' Parties are a bluegrass showcase on the small stage set up near an old horse barn. It's also a chance for pickers of all types to jam together spontaneously under the stars, and any bluegrass instrument gets you into the party for a very discounted ticket price. Beers and sodas and water are included in the admission price, so this is always a popular event.
Saturday's absolutely gorgeous weather provided the perfect backdrop for a gathering of friends to picnic at Arrington Vineyards. This is another very well-frequented excursion for Nashvillians in-the-know, as it is the closest thing to wine country we've got in Tennessee- picturesque, peaceful, with decent wine to sip on and great music in the background. You can do a wine tasting, and then purchase some bev's to sip on in the sunshine, within site of the grapevines.
It was just a perfect day for relaxing with sweet friends and enjoying the early summer in the south.
