Richmond

We left for Richmond Friday morning. Elinor was perfect on the flight. We meet up with Garvey as soon as we got there, rented a car and headed to the hotel. We stayed at the Omni which was a couple of blocks from the venue. Perfect for Ellie and I to come and go if she wasn't into being at the show. She probably could have stayed all day watching bands and people but I didn't want her being around constant music the whole time, even with her headphones on. In between bands I would take the headphones off to give her a break and every time she would jump and look around super wide eyed like she was hearing for the first time. We need to take a video of that soon.

 she was so smiley right before and after this pic but I kept missing it (also since we were out of town we used disposable diapers. Of course she had a huuuuge blowout as soon as we got back to the show. She had to be stripped down and changed outside before we went back in!)
 sleeping under the merch table on shirts. She took a 3 hour nap like this!

It was such a good trip. I thought her and I would end up sitting in the hotel room the whole time. We have a couple of other fests to go to this year so I hope she still likes going as she gets older. 

The headphones Elinor has are baby banz.
