Bronnaroo! [part 1]

Mommy and Daddy took me to Bonnaroo. What were they thinking!

The trip down there was easy. I was asleep before we left Greensboro. I woke up in a wonderful, new place! It was a motel in Chattanooga, and the time was 1:30 in the morning. For some reason, M&D wanted to go to sleep around then, but I was much too excited, so I wouldn't let them. I just had to look around and investigate the two beds, the TV, the mirror, the ugly carpet, the trashcan and the nondescript watercolors on the walls. A motel! In all my 10 months, I had never seen such a fascinating place! Still, after about an hour, I settled down - I figured it was best to let the old people get at least 4 hours sleep before we started off again in the morning.

The next time I woke up we were in the car, waiting in line. It was boring, so I went back to sleep again for a few hours. Funnily enough, when I woke up we were still in the car, and still waiting in line! So I went to sleep again. I woke up, and nothing much had changed. This festival stuff appeared to consist mostly of sitting in the car, waiting. I was not impressed.

Eventually, we arrived at our designated parking spot. M&D (sporting shiny new red bracelets) unpacked a few essentials (including me in the Kelty) and we headed off to the camping area. Their 'essentials' turned out not to include everything we needed - they had forgotten to bring diapers, wipes, food or fresh water - but thank goodness, they did bring the shade canopy, so Mommy and I had a pleasant place to wait while Daddy went back to the car for another load. A nice man from the camp next door gave Mommy and me some water to drink while we were waiting, and after Mommy removed my poopy diaper I was quite happy rolling around on the blanket naked until Daddy got back. He looked a bit exhausted, but he had brought a ton of stuff including diapers, water and a big cooler full of beer, so everyone was happy.

Then our friends showed up. I had never met Kym, Jared or Evan before, but from the first I could tell they were great people. They gave me lots of attention, and Kym brought me a present of some nice new clothes. We set up the tents and got to know our neighbors. It was starting to look like a fun weekend.

I am tired and sleepy now. Will blog the rest later. Meanwhile - here are photos of the trip.
