Vibrant Living Festival Trip

Tuesday, 31 August 2010

Summer is winding down, and it's been an eventful and busy season, with lots of visits with friends and family and little trips. Our most recent trip was about a week ago, to the Vibrant Living Festival up near Philadelphia. It was organized by Arnold's Way Raw Vegetarian Cafe in Landsdale, PA, and this was their first year. So, when we found out about it a couple months ago, we wanted to go support their efforts, and enjoy the company of other raw food enthusiasts and eco-conscious folk. We went too early, and the kids burned out by 2 o'clock, at which point, we retreated to the hotel to swim. I'm sure things probably picked up after we left, and we missed some of the fun. So, if they do it again next year, we'll be better prepared!

Nonetheless, we enjoyed a couple days checking out the area, including the big Whole Foods Market in the Plymouth Meeting Mall. Between there, and Arnold's Way Cafe, I got my fill (overfill) of raw food packaged goodies and wonderful fresh produce. Of course, three days of eating raw treats didn't leave me feeling too well by the time we headed home. But, we had a good time and will definitely head back up to that area occasionally for a visit and some more sightseeing in near Philadelphia.
