12240855_10153275577136234_4867403837792271664_oWe visited the 20th annual Food & Wine Festival this past week. Going toward the end seemed to be a great time to go; the weather was perfect and the crowds appeared to be down with the exception of 1 night. It has been several years since we last visited and we were very impressed this year with the quality of food.
