True to my word, I did see the Fourth of July Parade in Oceanside. This is the first parade that I've gone to in years! You know what? There's a reason that I liked them as a kid; they're fun! They're loud! And you get to be out there with all of your neighbors (including that lady that owns that Great Dane, whom I always refer to as That-Lady-That-Owns-That-Great-Dane).
Of course, this Fourth of July Parade actually took place on the Third, but I am definitely in favor of extending holidays!
I also enjoyed watching everyone's furry friends come out...I don't think that this one liked the group of motorcycles though (too loud for him).
I think this truck was especially in the spirit of things.
This girl was in the parade all by herself, and it looked pretty lonely. I had to take a picture of her though because of the tricycle. I haven't tried the 101 Cafe yet, but maybe I will now.
Yes, on the whole it was a lovely 3rd of July! More to follow though...I've had other adventures!
