First Raleigh St. Patty’s Day

Who knew Raleigh had such a large Irish contingent?  We headed downtown to explore the festival and watch the parade, and we met up with some friends, too… Irish friends, at that… Finn, like me, loves a good parade! The fried food helped the festivities along.. and Guinness for the adults, too. 

 

parade watching…

yes, that is a John Deere hat… 

Finn and her man, Patrick McGinn- with his mama Annie
Finn with her potential in-laws… Finn McGinn?
celebrating is exhausting…
and right in the middle of nap time. 
but the par-tay must go on for now.
