St. Patrick's Day Parade


It turns out, I love parades. Who knew? 


Philadelphia came out in full force to celebrate St. Patrick's day (a week early actually--I'm not sure why). 


 There were loads of vendors selling the kitschiest things imaginable.
 

The kids were, of course, the best part. 


This woman was so pleased with her outfit. It was adorable. And note the pretzel in her hand--there were tons of pretzels for sale. Although it appeared that the parade was BYOB. 


I'm not sure what Sponge Bob has to do with St. Patrick's day. 


Watching the spectators was just as good as watching the parade. 


Weirdest shoes ever. 


St. Patrick!

How was it a week early? Was it on March 10? I'm confused?

Oh yeah--sorry--I didn't really clarify.

You really didn't, did you?
