Woodstock

The road trip ended in Bethel, NY - site of the Woodstock Festival.  This is country up here.  Max Yasgur's field is still there, along with a monument that commemorates the festivities that took place on these most hallowed of rock and roll grounds.

There is also a beautiful music venue and museum.  The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts  is a wonderful open-air setting for all kinds of musical performers, as well as having a funky museum that takes you back to the good old days.  It was great.  There are interactive exhibits, all sorts of video presentations, memorabilia,  everything to kind of "wash" you in the way of life in 1969.  You could spend a lot of time there.  The best was a psychedelic bus that had footage projected on the windshield as you sat inside the bus, showing how everyone traveled to the concert.  

Zac is a big fan of sixties music, so he was loving it. He was into all the old album covers.   And I can proudly report that Zoe was totally blown away by Jimi Hendrix' rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner.  That's my girl!
