The Last First Friday

 

The first Friday of every month is always a big block party at the beach. It used to be every Friday before the pandemic. Now it's just the once a month so the crowds, we've heard, are enormous. This was the last one of the season so we thought we'd go see. 

We showed up an hour early and got take out from our favorite Mexican place. We sat on some benches on the boardwalk and ate while watched the event unfold. 

The water is so different at night. It fades into the horizon.

We got to watch the vendors setting up. I loved this repurposed Air Stream. 

There was also a vintage car show. There weren't many cars while we were there but we did love this Karmann Ghia. By the time we were leaving more cars were roaring in and the crowd was getting as bad as we've heard so it was time to go. 

And......Dee was sharing funny kitty drinking photos so I took this one of Pup while we were there. When we are out she will only drink right out of a water bottle. We've tried fancy doggie bottles and packable bowls but this is the only way she will drink. After a dinner of Mexican food she really needed a drink. So did I. I only wished mine could have been a margarita.
