St. Patrick's Day Parade

What do you get when you're surrounded by half a million people? EVERYTHING. And I mean EH-VER-E-THANG! Oh my word the people watching was just fantastic. Fantastic. From the hookers handing out escort cards, to the adorable babies all dressed in green, to the outfits, it was GREAT! I really think a good fourth of the people there felt like it was an excuse to wear items that fit them when they were in 3rd grade. There was a LOT of inappropriate skin showing and exposed muffin tops to say the least.

Overall though, the weather was gorgeous and we enjoyed taking Drew down to the festivities. We didn't get the memo that you had to get there super early to get a good spot so we couldn't see too much through the crowds. (Apparently it's one of the biggest St. Paddy's parades in the country!) Drew did like all of the trucks and floats, but I have to say his favorite were the horses. He would point, squeal and get the biggest grin when they walked by. We all know how much he loves his doggies and I honestly think he thought they were just extra large dogs! 

We didn't stay the whole time, but enjoyed what we saw and we'll definitely be back next year!
