Spring Beach Trip 2010

Each spring we like to shake the winter blues by spending time on the southern beaches. Usually we hit the beaches about spring break time. As former teachers we enjoy seeing the kids and young people too. This year our spring beach trip took us to Tybee Island, GA and Huntington Beach, SC. It is amazing how fast a month at the beach goes. In addition to enjoying the sun we joined the T@B Blue Ridge Rally in Marion, NC, attended the Central Ohio Folk Music Festival in Columbus Ohio and visited four grand kids.

Following are Smileboxes showing many of our experiences during the fifty-two day trip. If you would like pictures from any Smilebox E-mail Mike at the address in the "About Us" section.

Central Ohio Folk Festival 2010

Spring Beach Trip 2010
Columbus, OH May 7 - 9 we spent at the Central Ohio Folk Festival. This was the first time we had attended this festival. In fact the first time we attended any folk or dulcimer festival in Ohio. Except for the weather this was a fun festival held in a fantastic Columbus Metro Park. Besides workshops for dulcimer, guitar, autoharp, songwriting, spoons, fiddle, penny whistle there were performances on two stages every hour of the festival. The evening concert performers were outstanding. As we all huddled together in the big tent trying to keep warm the sounds of
