The Martineau's Come to Visit...Day 2

Internet photo

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  May the luck of the Irish be with you!

We dropped Tessa at daycare, then headed to the "kids" rental, arriving a little after 11:00.  We took our traditional photos in front of the garage door, for lack of a better backdrop. ;o). 

This one is kinda blurry for some reason ;o(

From there we headed to The Celtic Ray for the St. Patricks' Day party and it is a party!!!

We didn't find our great places in the shade from last year but our location was next to it and it wasn't terrible, just more sun.  We had a good view of the stage and there was lots of people watching.

We were on a hill but not so steep that we slid out of our chairs.

The guys got in line for food right away, because the line can get really long.  This year it took less than 30 minutes and would have been faster but Bill had to wait for a fresh batch of fish to be prepared.  The price was the same as last year ($18) and you get more than enough food!  

My plate of corned beef and cabbage

Bill had the fish and chips

Wendy also had the corned beef and Dan had chicken fingers, which he said were really good.  Unfortunately, my plate was literally disintegrating from the juice and it was difficult to cut anything with a big hole in the middle of the plate.  Amazingly, I managed to keep everything off my clothes.

Bill and I drank cranberry juice and ginger ale, while Wendy and Dan enjoyed the adult beverages, along with plenty of water.  It was hot again this year, mid 80's.

We stayed until about 4:00, dropped them off, used the bathroom, checked out the new lanai, then headed to pick up Tessa.  We got home by 5:15, better than last year when we didn't get home till 9ish. 

Such a fun day, can't wait till next year!

Thanks for stopping by...
