ravinia

ravinia is a beautiful outdoor venue just north of the city. they have concerts and various things going on during the summer season -everything from sting, to classical music, to musicals like annie get your gun, and all kinds of other bands/music - and it was one of those things i'd always wanted to do, but never had. so kyle and stefanie and i were talking about it, and decided to just do it and go! we picked a night, jumped in the car, and went to listen to.... beethoven's concertos!



the beautiful outdoor setting. it's a huge area and the lawn tickets are pretty cheap. everyone brings picnics and wine and drinks and all sorts of stuff with them. it's so much fun!! during bigger acts and on the weekends, the lawn gets packed. as in you can't see grass packed.


kyle and stef on our blankets and putting together our spread.


stef and me (please note sunglasses from the italy loot post)


giggles! and lots of fun!


angie came too...


and so did mike. and they brought their ginormous chairs!


i'm so sad that the summer is coming to a close - i wish there was more time to go see more things here and do more picnics!!

Summer? Apparently California didn't get the memo that there is summer this year. Brrr cold up north and south this year!
