Got to see where Woodstock was held

Tweet

Friday while my daughter was at her friends house I watched two movies while doing surveys. One was “Aspergers R Us” and the other was “Kelly and Cal”. Aspergers R Us was boring but Kelly and Cal was okay. Before bed I finished reading a book called “ The last innocent man” by Phillip Margolin. First time reading anything by this author and I really liked the book so now I have started reading another book of his called “Sleeping Beauty”. Saturday my boyfriend and I took his son and my daughter to Bethel Woods Center of the Arts. The grounds is where the original Woodstock Festival was held 50 years ago. They have recreated 1/4 of the Bindy Bazaar trail so we went on a short guided walk to learn about it. They plan to restore the entire trail as well as have an artist come in next month to yarn bomb the trees. I think if the entire trail was restored and the trees were yarn bombed I would have enjoyed the trail tour more. After the trail tour we checked out the Woodstock monument where I found a geocache. My daughter picked up a bundle of sage to burn inside the geocache and I dropped off a trackable. We toured the indoor museum and honestly it was rather boring. My daughter loved it though as she is huge into music the past few years. My ticket to get in was $20 and hers was $10. $10 might have been worth it for how boring it was but not the $20. There was no where nearby to eat so we drove towards home and about an hour from home stopped at a restaurant that my boyfriend and I had dined at a few years ago while in that area. Near my boyfriends grandmothers house is a really small rinky dink ice cream shop he and his son enjoy so we stopped there for dessert before driving the rest of the way home. Today I made a new recipe called “Peanut butter chocolate chip dessert hummus”. It smells amazing but is kind of blah. It tastes pretty good on pretzels with the crunch and salt on them but I wouldn’t bother making the recipe again. My grandmother just died a few months ago at 85 or so. She had gone to the original Woodstock festival. I wish I had gotten to ask her about what it was like. On the guided walk there was a man who attended the original Woodstock. Has anyone here been to any of the Woodstock’s? I’m thinking there might not be many here old enough to have gone to the original festival. They have been planning a 50th anniversary Woodstock festival or this summer but it’s been cancelled. They do other concerts at Bethel Woods though. My daughter is going in August to a concert there with her friend and her parents. My sister is also going to a concert there this summer. Most my photos are on my camera and I haven’t been on my computer to transfer them so I made a collage of two photos that were on my phone. The top photo is of the trailhead to the Bindy Bazaar and the bottom is a car inside the museum.
