Today we woke up early to hit up the Seattle Pride parade. Erik and Destiny stayed the night so they could watch the boys in the morning (after a hilarious attempt by Andy and Erik to put the garage door opener up only to find it was too short in the end).
We got there and it was hot. It was humid and 93 degrees. Ugh. Luckily, we found a spot of curb in the shade and staked it out so we wouldn't die during the parade. We met up with Leslie and Krissy, but later met up with a lot of my old rugby team and Andy's cousin Emily. The parade was awesome- definitely the most colorful parade you're going to find. I'm pretty sure Pride is the best people watching you're ever going to find too. I was completely shocked to see some people brought their kids of age to remember this stuff to watch though, there is a lot of nudity (yes, full nudity) and weird fetish clubs that march.

We were there for a few hours before we started to get burnt out. It was a LOOOOOONG parade.
We decided to hit up the festival afterwards but it was PACKED. We waited in line enough for a lemonade, gyro, and later an ice cream and after a final round, we decided to go home. It was too hot and humid and weaving through people wasn't that much fun anymore.
It was definitely fun though. Would go again. Hopefully next time it isn't so dang hot though.
