Heather 365: Day 188 – Black Ships and Polo and Sharks…OH MY!

Today there were so many events and happenings going on in my area, and the weather was such perfection that for my intention today I decided to do them all!! Vinny, mom and I started our day by walking down to a local restaurant and having brunch. It was packed and the vibe was already buzzin in town so I knew right then and there it was going to be a great day!!

We walked through the town and went to the Black Ships Festival first. It was Asian themed. There were demonstrations going on, vendors and it was a great atmosphere. After taking that in, we decided to walk to the beach area and walk the Cliff Walk. It was about 2:00 by the time we made our way back to the house. We dropped off our stuff and headed a few blocks up the road to the pier where they were having the 2^nd Annual Shark Tournament. That was something to really speak about! They would hoist the shark out of the fishing boat by crane. It would slowly come around to be put onto the scale and weighed. The shark pictured below is actually 245lbs and had a real blueish hue to him. It was surreal and freaky being that close to a freshly caught shark! I saw it as a once in a lifetime opportunity.

After leaving there, we dropped Vinny off at the house and mom and I headed out to meet the lovely ladies of my social group at polo. I have been hearing so much about it and everyone I have talked to said it’s a really great time and we were not disappointed. Thousands of people were there, tailgating and enjoying the scene. All the girls and I brought food and drinks and absolutely enjoyed the day and into the early evening. The conversation, the game, eating and drinking….it just really makes me appreciate life and all the activities life has to offer.

As I spoke to some of the girls, I mentioned the blog and what an awesome addition it is to my life. I spoke of Heather and how she inspired this life changing premise. I was blessed to have my mom there with me as well and everyone just loved her too (as everyone always does). Anyhow, today was a truly lovely and enjoyable day. Cheers to a fabulous weekend !!! #HGAL
