Let There Be Dragons

 

Every year the beach hosts a dragon boat race to benefit the county charities that feed the hungry. 

It's been a few years since we've been to one for one reason or another but yesterday we got up early and made it to the 8 am starting time. 

It's a big street festival with vendors and food trucks stretched all along the main drag. The smoke was gone and the weather was beautiful.

The Mister and I really enjoyed it. Pup-not so much. The loud music and the crowds make her very anxious even in her stroller. She's used to having this place pretty much to herself on most days. 

She was having a hissy fit until......we hit the food truck area. A bite of the best fries ever and a hot dog quieted her down for a while. A milk bone from the visitor's center didn't hurt either.

We stuck around to about noon and then called it a day. It was nap time. We haven't had this much fun or excitement in a long while and all three of us were worn out. 

And....to put some icing on the cake, when we got home I found a package in the mailbox. Lucy in KY had sent me a surprise package filled with goodies. It's all wonderful and very much appreciated. Thanks, Lucy!
