...I can't believe it's autumn already...

Today I did some one of my favorite things--volunteering for the annual Neptune Festival. This weekend was the Fall Wine Tasting. The Neptune Festival takes place once most of the tourists have gone home, and it's a time where the locals come out and enjoy the peace and slightly cooler weather, and reclaim the oceanfront. The admission is $30 per person--you get the coveted Neptune Festival commemorative wine glass, free music, a chance to sample lots of wine from a number of Virginia wineries, and enjoy some music. You can bring your own table & chairs or blankets, and food if you want, although there is food there to purchase. This is right on the oceanfront, only across the sidewalk from the beach. I enjoy volunteering for the different events, because it is almost like a family reunion, and the festival organizers are the best people to work with. It's more fun than working a "real" job. I got my commemorative wine glass and coveted t-shirt, free food, and drank my way around the park.
