I was about 45 minutes early to the Pet Parade today, which started at 10 a.m., which gave me enough time to take some before videos, go to Drake Park, visit with some former co-workers, check out the restroom, and return to find the staging area so packed, I only made it a few feet into the sea of people, leashes and dogs to make an after video.
Then there was the parade. I found a place across from the Liberty Theater building on Wall Street. I have no idea how long it went. There were four divisions: Big dogs; little dogs; bikes; and odds and ends, which included horses, goats, and sheep. Then I went back to the park, had a pancake breakfast for brunch, and then checked out the vendors, headed back to the car, made a side trek through the historical museum's Highway 97 exhibit, and then to the car which I had parked on Staats Street, a couple of blocks north of Colorado Ave. The only times I sat down were the bathroom and the meal. I made it back to the car, got a milkshake for my husband, and was home before 1 p.m.
I am amazed at my stamina today. But now I'm going to take the rest of the day easy.
Happy Fourth of July, everyone!
