The one good thing about NOVA

So as most of you know, there isn't much I love about Northern Virginia. There is too much traffic, too many chain restaurants, too many conservatives and too many office parks and too many overpriced apartment complexes. Its not that I hate it, I just don't find many reasons to go there, let alone live there when DC is filled with so much excitement. Obviously there are exceptions... it seems the tall boys live in NOVA, if you have a lot of shopping to do Pentagon City is where it is at, and I find Del Ray adorable.

But the one place I will gladly go to any day of the week in Northern Virginia is the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts. It is my heaven. After only 20 minutes of sitting in traffic on I-66 you feel like you are in the middle of the mountains, sitting on a hillside with friends, drinking wine and having cheese and crackers (or beer and chips and dip if you prefer) and watching a great performance. I love it! It even makes classical music sound exciting.

Wolf Trap has released their summer schedule and tickets go on sale this Saturday. Though - I wouldn't recommend buying tickets. Tickets are for the assigned seating at the Filene Center and you can't drink or eat in the seats - only on the hill above it and you can buy those tickets day of. But i do recommend checking out the schedule. Their schedule isn't full yet but I am excited about a few already... Jesus Christ Superstar, Camelot, The theater performances include Jesus Christ Superstar, Camelot, Natalie Cole, Bugs Bunny on Broadway, Kingston Trio, Boston Pops and the Louisiana Swamp Romp. Basically I will go to anything so if you find something that interests you let me know! I'll even volunteer to drive :)
