Some St. Patrick's Day

Dia Daoibh (pronounced jee-uh deev--hello to a group of people). During the week of St. Patty's day they were hitting the Irish hard at Max's school. Every day when I would drop him off I learned a new word or phrase. Some was retained. Our St. Patrick's day festivities kicked off on Friday afternoon. We headed to the...

Irish Craft Beer Festival!

 Kevin had Howling Pale Ale and Curim Gold Celtic Wheat Beer. I based my decisions solely on the names: Chocolate Truffle Stout (not THAT impressive) and Purgatory Pale Ale, good.

Max had a balloon. You will notice that the best craic for Max is face paint and tattoos. Just wait...

Saturday was the parade. We headed downtown around 10:15ish to wander, check out the scene and find a place to view the parade.

 ...and have a pint

And have a hot dog.

Some scenes from the streets. Everyone lining up along the parade route..climbing on statues...

This is the view from where we watched the parade. We found a nice spot with a wall we could stand on so we could see everything.

Our spot.

Then we waited for the parade to begin. We were near a grandstand so we had commentary throughout.
