In the mood to get stuffed on souvlaki?  Or do you go batty for baklava?  Then hit the Greek Festival at St. George Greek Orthodox Church on May 6 - 8.  You can enjoy authentic Greek food, music, dancing, vendors, and a flea market.  There are also tons of fun activities for kids.  Check out all of the delicious details at http://www.stgeorge.org/news/newsupcomingevents.

This one is just for the parents: remember Crosby, Stills and Nash?  If you head to Strathmore Hall on May 2 at 8:00 pm, you can hear the Crosby and Nash part of that trio live in concert.  Visit www.strathmore.org/eventstickets/calendar.

For some tunes under the stars, you have to check out the calendar of events at Wolftrap.  They don't start the summer series until June, but you will not believe the lineup they've got planned!  Remember, Wolftrap is the ultra-cool venue where you pack picnic baskets and bring blankets and watch top-notch entertainment, whether it's concerts or shows.  Just in June, you could see The Indigo Girls, Bill Cosby, Gilbert & Sullivan, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, Patti LaBelle, Elivis Costello  - the list goes on!  Take a look here: www.wolftrap.org/Find_Performances_and_Events.aspx?click=1&month=6&year=2011&t=Performance.

One of the greatest ways to spend a late spring or summer day is picking your own fresh fruit.  One favorite spot is Butler's Orchard (www.butlersorchard.com), and luckily, late May brings strawberry season!  You'll also get blueberries, sweet peas and tart cherries in the next few months, so grab a basket and head up there.  And here's even more good news:  at Butler's, they don't weigh your children before and after to see what they've consumed, so your little berry munchers are safe!

If the local pool just won't cut it for your family this summer, here's a really great idea - go white water rafting!  Yes, you can do it close to home, and get all of the thrills you can handle!  Visit www.riverriders.com/RRMain.asp?Option=List&Activity=Rafting and learn how you can take a two-to-three hour trip on the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers near Harper's Ferry.  This adventure will make you a fun date, a super cool parent or just give you an afternoon to remember. Tubing trips are available for the less adventurous.

Want to see some beautiful, soul-stirring art? On May 14-15, stroll around Norfolk Avenue for the Bethesda Fine Arts Festival.  It's the highest-ranking fine arts show in Maryland, and it's right in our back yard.  It's also in the middle of restaurant heaven, so give it a try! Visit
