2. St Paddy's Day Parade
 |
| I swear I am not drunk yet. |
It was a sea of green in Denver last Saturday. That was the longest parade I have ever seen. I drove up with my friend Gloria and her two children.

| Vanessa and Xavier |
We were meeting my friend Crystal (from the 7k) and some of her friends at 17th and Blake. They had a sweet spot set up right on the curb.

| Check out our view! |
I saw the begining and I was there for the end. My favorite part of the parade was watching the dancers walking and twirlling. I love their cute curls.

| Irish Dancers! |
I also decided that I could get 3 things crossed off my list today. I went to the parade, but what is St. Paddy's Day without some drinking. I have never had a drink in my life that early. I started drinking a 7 and 7 as soon as I got there. By 10:00 a.m. I was tipsy:) and by 12:00 I was ready for an Irish Car Bomb. For those of you who don't know and Irish Car Bomb is a shot.

I actually drank two car bombs before 2:30 p.m. I was actually really drunk. It was crazy. I was home and asleep by 5 p.m. The way I felt when I woke Sunday morning tells me I am not cut out for day drinking.

I think how you feel the day after day-drinking depends on what you were drinking. ;) Sounds like quite an adventure! Slàinte!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! You will be happy to know that I only made it until 8 o'clock... and that wasn't my first time. I can't believe you had 2 bombs!! You are a champ!
