Bluegrass for Babies :: Midsummer Harvest

BB Riverboats :: Beer & BBQ Cruise
On Friday night we went on a double date with our friends on a BB Riverboats Beer & BBQ dinner cruise. The sky was dark and cloudy as we boarded the boat, and the lyrics from Gilligan’s Island kept running through my head. “A three hour tour…” There was nothing to worry about though, the...
