St. Patrick's Day

Got our Irish on and headed down to the St. Patrick's Day parade.  Missed it last year and after dealing with the crowds this year I might just have to miss it again.  It was a madhouse.  I'm not sure if it was due to the wonderful weather but it really was crazy.  The parade is 3 1/2 hours long so didn't stay for the whole thing but I can tell you that the Irish sure know how to party.

We escaped for lunch and headed to the Old Spaghetti Factory.  On our way there we came across a lost little boy so we stayed with him until the police came.  Poor thing was so distraught.  We were hardly comforting to him but at least it ended well as his family had called the police as well and they were quickly reunited.

The wait at the restaurant was crazy but the food was yummy.  Overall, it was a fun day despite the crowds.
