Day 320 – Holiday Boat Parade & Block Party

For my intention today I went to the Holiday Boat Parade with Vinny this evening just blocks from our home. Last year we just stood on our deck and watched but this year I wanted to be up close and personal. So glad I did because this year there was a block party as well! There were literally thousands of people throughout the town, at the Wharf, docks, piers and more. There was live music to set the scene. All the trees and streets are lit up at this time and you feel instantly in the holiday spirit. We got lucky because the weather was beautiful!! It was 55 degrees and a bit windy but still so nice.

We wandered the area and then found a nice spot on one of the piers to relax and watch the parade. People were in every nook and cranny…every dock, restaurant balcony, pier and bay. The parade was colorful, lively and festive. There were boats illuminated with Christmas trees, Santa’s, reindeer, and more. They were blowing their horns, singing and getting the crowds to sing Christmas songs and even firing the cannons!!

As we stood there I found myself thinking just how much I love it here. They have so many unique festivities and I am glad to take part in so many of them and eagerly look forward to the upcoming events of the season.

After the parade was over, we walked around a bit then made our walk back home as the temperature began to drop. This was a beautiful evening and fun intention for sure!! #Cheers #HGAL
