I had heard tales about the goings on in Southie for the St. Patty's Day parade, but now I've lived to tell the tale! We saw the signs posting "No Parking" all over our small town and decided not to drive anywhere on Sunday - parade day. We had a normal Sunday morning. We walked about a mile to the shopping plaza for shopping and lunch. Normally, we'd be the ONLY people out, but today people were already out and about. Now when I saw out and about, what I mean is drunk and disorderly! It seemed like thousands of people descended upon Southie for the parade to day. Our walk to and from lunch was uneventful. However, we did stop to watch the police come out and make the way for the parade. Brenden was enthralled with the SWAT team's vehicle and uniform!!! We waited for EVER and no parade. So, we walked the last couple of blocks to drop of Annie and Troy, where at some point Troy caught 2 young ladies PEEING behind our van in our carport!!!.
Bren and I headed back out. We ran into some of my students while walking around but nothing unusual. The parade itself was entertaining, lots of pipers, firetrucks, and politicians. I decided to leave when the lovely people decided to through lollipops at the nice officers across the street from us! This is the cleanest version of our time at the Southie St. Patty's Day Parade!!
Hope all is well and you enjoy your week!
