Pirate-fest - Port Washington, WI (FUN!!)

I remember a time, when I worked crappy part-time jobs at restaurants...And worked every weekend, and every weekend was beeeeeautiful outside, and every customer was kind enough to let me know how beautiful it was outside and it's a shame that I'm working...

Now that I have my weekends free, it's just my luck that the weekends have been cloudy, rainy, windy, and just not beaaaautiful like how it was when I had to work.

The point is, is that my two good girlfriends and I went on a day trip to go hiking at a state park, and then to Pirate Fest in Port Washington. It sprinkled rain most of the day, and everything was gray. Even my outfit was gray. Gray sweats, a gray hoodie.

On the positive side, it was good that it was cloudy. The hiking trails at the state park were not in a forested area, they were through sand dunes. Had it been sunny we could have been badly sunburned being exposed like that. And being with two girlfriends who I don't get to see very often is always a good thing!

So Pirate Fest!! I had never attended this event before, but anything with pirates has to be fun. There were vendors with pirate gear galore, live music, pirate skits, and it was in a setting along beautiful (but windy) Lake Michigan.





Attendence seemed small to me, and I blame the weather for that. I'm going to give it a second go next year and bring my husband John, who I know would love it. Perhaps next year I'll have to get a 2nd job at a restaurant to ensure that the weather is nice on the weekend!
