Viva Vienna!

There is a festival (sort of) in Vienna, VA, this Memorial Day weekend. It's called Viva Vienna, and, since we only live about 1.5 miles from it, we decided to walk there this morning for a snack and to take a look around.

Well, we were a bit early for everything. Genius boy, yours truly, did NOT really read the schedule of events. Today was only carnival rides and a few food vendors. The main event starts tomorrow when they block of a few streets and set up about 100 vendors or so. Some of them are interesting, some not.

Regardless, we ate a decent Italian sausage and some pretty good ribs for an early lunch. I think we'll head back tomorrow for some hot vendor-customer action! Actually, we really might only head back because it says there should be a Lebanese food vendor and this one stall said they would have jerk chicken. But, who knows what we will find at the vendors? Perhaps...um, a barrel!

Oh yeah, they are also doing an E-waste drive, wheeeeee!
