A Pirate Daze

Okay, everyone knows the movies "Pirates of the Caribbean" well, the ship "the Interceptor" is actually named "The Lady Washington" and her home port is actually right here in Grays Harbor. On the Fourth of July she and another "tall ship" the "Hawaiian Chieftain" will have a battle here and be open for tours along with going for cruises at the cost of $60 bucks a person for a few hours!

This weekend in Westport (20 min away) they had Pirate Daze (days) both ships were there all weekend, the main street along the marina was shut down and filled with booths, everyone was dressed up like pirates and they also had a parade on Sunday that we were able to go to. It was a tad hokey, but it was great because all the people were SOOO into it. We loved it and had a ton of fun. Livie had a great time, collected many necklaces, ate a whole thing of blue cotton candy (otherwise known as fairy dust) :-) ate a ton of suckers that were thrown with the floats and in general had a hell of a day!! On the way back there was a little carnival set up at the mall that we went to. Liv got on the airplane ride all by herself and did really well until the guy went to strap her in!! lol The guy was awesome and yelled for Rich, so daddy to the rescue and strapped her in and we stood and watched her go from sobbing to maniacal laughter and back again for her 3 minute ride. lol It was great and we were really proud of her. She kept saying "I fun, and scared too!" We told her that it was okay to be scared just as long as she kept trying and she seemed to get it. lol LOVE MY KID. :-) I didn't have any pictures of that though! Damn.
