My Journey: 2015 Three Rivers Jazzaffair

Yes it is that time again. I know that the jazz festival has almost been a week ago this Friday but I have been trying to recuperate. James and I had such a great time and my parents loved Three Rivers as well. So James and I drove to Exeter Thursday night after I was off work and we stayed there for a few minutes before I realized I forgot the most important thing that I needed so James, my parents, and I got in my dad's car and we drove back to Fresno to get what I forgot. And we even went to get a rootbeer float. When we got back my mom cut my hair and on Friday we all woke up early and we walked around Old Town Exeter for a bit and then we went and showed my parents around Three Rivers and we went and had lunch at St. Anthony's and then we ended up going back to Exeter because again I forgot what I needed. When we came back we went and watched Cornet Chop Suey for a bit at 4 pm at St. Anthony's and then James and I got in our car and we went and watched Blue Street at 5:15 pm at The Lions Arena. I even got to help my mentor with her three year old daughter which was so much fun. I enjoyed my time with that three year old. At 6:30 pm James and I went and watched Cornet Chop Suey and then at 7:45 pm we headed to go and watch Blue Street at the Memorial building. After Blue Street ended at the memorial building we stayed and watched Cornet Chop Suey and then we headed back to the hotel room. My mom even taught me how to do my makeup. On Saturday we all got up early again and at 9:45 am James and I headed to St. Anthony's to watch Blue Street. Just before we started my mentor's daughter saw me and told her daddy she wanted to see me so her and I hung out for a bit and then I went and hung out with her as she had breakfast. After she was done we went to see Blue Street play. Then at 11 am James and I headed to the Memorial building tent to see High Sierra play and then at 12:15 pm we walked upsatirs to the Memorial building and we watched Cornet Chop Suey play and that is where grandpa Paul gave me a gift. At 1:30 pm we walked back down to the tent that was at the memorial building and we watched Blue Street. Then at 2:45 we drove to the Lions Arena and we watched High Street with my parents. I even disco danced with Matt from High Street. That was also so much fun. James and I stayed there and we watched Bob Draga and friends at 5:15 pm. My mentor's daughter helped some little girls build a fairy house which was so much fun to watch. After Blue Street finished we hung out with Blue Street for a bit and we had dinner and we watched Titan Hot Seven for a bit. Then we left and went back to Exeter. On Sunday we woke up early and at 10:15 am James and I headed to the Memorial building for Blue Street's gospel set. My mentor's daughter and I went outside and I read her a book 4 times in a row and we walked around a bit and we sat and watched Blue Street for a bit as well. We even picked some roses for her mom and her dad. Then at 11:45 am we went down to the Memorial building tent and we watched the Au bothers and then at 1 pm we stayed at the tent and watched Blue Street. I watched my mentor's daughter dance with many dance partners and we took some selfies and she also colored a bit. After that set I said my goodbyes and gave my hugs and then James and I went to Riemers and had ice cream. Also Sunday morning we went to Antoniette's and I had a white chocolate raspberry white flat which is half latte half cappuccino. Some of the highlights of this festival was when my mom cut my hair and taught me how to do my makeup, walking around Exeter and Three Rivers with my parents, watching my mentor's daughter, my mentor's daughter looking at me and saying "Mimi let's take selfies," helping building a fairy house, disco dancing with Matt, and of course spending time with Blue Street.
