Saturday in the Park

Montgomery started their Second Saturday Riverfront Festival this past weekend.  Because they are trying to revitalize the downtown area they are introducing all kinds of new activities to draw people into the city.  From 5-8 pm there is live music, food and drink booths, a few artists and lots of great people watching.  Local band playing R & B, light jazz and classic rock.

Sooooo enjoyable just sitting, watching and listening.

You know you're living in AL when there are father/daughter matching mohawks.

We've decided that one of the many things we love about AL is the fact that we're a 15 minute drive from downtown, parking is close and easy, there aren't huge crowds at events but enough to make them interesting.  We feel perfectly comfortable leaving our chairs unattended while walking around to grab hotdogs and ice cream.  People are incredibly nice and friendly. This event was very family friendly with kids everywhere.

The fountain was a clear kid favorite along with the blow up rides.

8 pm sharp, the lights went off and the fireworks went off literally above our heads!  I'm not a big pyrotechnic gal but these were very cool, fast, close and a great end to a relaxing date night.
