Okay, so St. Patty's Day didn't go as planned this year. We had an uneventful & pleasant road trip down to Fla. Then, on ST. Patty's Day itself, my mom had checked a local web-site to see what time they were doing the annual parade there this year, we got dressed in our festive green clothes & accessories. We headed down to where they have the parade in the town square know as "Sumter Landing" & noticed that there wasn't quite the usual traffic/crowd as in the past. Well, after we walked around a bit & noticed that no one was lining the streets to get their spots for the parade, we finally asked a lady if she knew when the parade was starting. Imagine the looks on our faces when she said "The parade was yesterday" -Yeah, not good. I was all torn up about it because it was all my son had looked forward to & the fact that my Mom had it wrong. Never before had the parade been held the day before St. Patrick's Day -what gives?! We never did find out why but, I think my Mom learned to check her sources a little better & we did get to do some other fun stuff. They were giving boat rides on the small lake there w/a man & his guitar singing Irish songs. Everything was still all festiive in the town since it was actually St. Patty's Day then. Well, no parade but, I did post some pics of some of the fun anyway.
