St. Patty's Day and Easter



Okay, Okay....I keep wishing I was back on the Carnival Freedom, drinking a grenandine laden fruity (low in alcohol-high in price) "foo-foo" drink. But, I am here in Ocean City adding a new blog to my short collection.

This weekend was fun as Barb and I met friends for a Saturday celebration of St Patty's Day. Forgetting that Barb and I very little, if any Irish, heritage...we celebrated like we were fresh of a cruise ship from Dublin!! Starting with the Irish tradition of Bloody Marys(?), through Harps and many assorted other psuedo Irish traditions (car bombs...etc.) we had a blast.

The "huge" Ocean City, Md St. Patty's parade at 45th Street was a good time to mingle, and catch up with folks. Then we paraded north to 49th Street (guess where?) yep, Seacrets...for most of the rest of our green day. Beyond Seacrets my memory gets hazy...so, off into Spring we go!

This weekend we look forward to Good Friday, Easter and of course SPRING!!! Yee- Haaa....Just mentioning Spring puts a smile on my face. If anyone reads this and would like to join us at what will become a Spring Tradition...please come. On Saturday (22nd) at 10 am at our West OC office we will have a family friendly Easter Egg Hunt with prizes for the kids and a yard sale for the adults...and kids! All the proceeds from the Yard Sale will Benefit our favorite charity the Sunshine Kids!! I would love to see anyone there that mentions my BLOG...I think I'm the only reader??

Til' next time- Jay
