Relaxing Sunday
Jun. 11th, 2023 06:47 pmAhhh! It felt GREAT to sleep in this morning!! Managed to be a lazyass and not get out of bed until around 8:15 (I'm usually up by 6 most days, and much earlier when I have to be in at store-open), even if we were both prodded and sniffed at by two cats wondering why they weren't getting their breakfast kibble top-up.
Today's adventure was one of our first road trips we'd had in a while that didn't involve going to A's parents or somewhere in the city. This time out we went down to Half Moon Bay, which we haven't visited in ages. [Seems it's been at least nine or so months, because the last time we went we had brunch at the Main Street Grill, which then shut down last August. Looks like they'll be opening up another diner there soon enough, though!] To our surprise, the town was about to have their first Pride parade that very afternoon! We stopped at a few of our favorite stores and got a perfect spot to watch the parade head through town. It was short but a lot of fun, and they had one of the blocks closed off afterwards with all kinds of Pride/LGBTQ+ info booths.
I have to say it meant a lot to see this, as I've always seen HMB as a very small town very similar to the one where I grew up. To see them not only celebrating Pride but having the entire downtown join in (there was positive chalk-art everywhere) for both young and old was just the best thing to see. I can only wonder if Athol would ever have something like that...
So yeah, that was our excitement today! :)
