i went back in time.. & pet pride


hi everybloggie!
Last weekend I traveled back in time. First the setting, the Wayside Inn. Since 1716, this place has been located on Boston Post Road offering hospitality and comfort to travelers. The Wayside Inn has a fascinating history.. check out the website if you have a minute. Some say the place is haunted... muuaaahhh!
But I went there to check out a festival. It was the Colonial Drum & Fife Festival. I didn't stay too long because take a listen.. constant and I mean constant drumming!

But I made a quick tour around and took in the ambiance of colonial times.
Huh? People are really taking this seriously. Wear can I get some colonial garb?
And this fun game, the kids get to walk around this lady and entangle her in a rope! I like that game.. gonna tell mom we should play that one.
The British are coming! The British are coming!! I thought they came along time ago! What in the world! Click to biggify any image if you need a closer look!
It looks like they're ready to fight. I'm gonna scoot to a quieter area. I'm a lover not a fighter anyways.
So I went to the trading posts. Teepee's are fun but I wasn't allowed to pee on it. It's a Tee Pee? Huh I'm confused again. Look below.. look close! An open roasting chicken! Oh yeah! now that smells deeeeelicious! I'm sure you can smell it now too!
On the grounds is an old mill- the Grist Mill which ground it's first grain on Thanksgiving 1929.
It was quite interesting and beautiful. I love watching the waterfall. Ahhh the sound of water falling, I think I have to pee again.

Intermission- Oops time for a roach break. I get so excited.. I have to rub it off.
And we came back to a field of drumming. I feel a bit out of place. Now would I wear red or blue? I wonder what my pals the Happy Heelers would suggest?

After I skirted away from the musical drums, I came across another historic spot.. I'm learning so much my peanut head is about to pop. George Washington had a tree planted in his honor.
Whew.. that was enough for me. I'm headed back to 2009. Fast forward please! I hope I didn't age any..
Happy Pet Pride day! Don't forget to visit my other pals with pride!
