LGBT Parade, a Tattoo, Our new neighborhood

A couple years ago we were attending my stepdaughter's graduation. The day after there was a LGBT Parade, so we went with my mom-in-law and my hubby's auntie (who is lesbian and dated my mom many years ago - a long story).

So we went to the parade and had a good time, drank some cocktails, then auntie and hubby decided to get a Tattoo. And oh we had to wait with a toddler for 3 or 4 hours for this to happen. That was a drag, tired me out!

Anyhow, we ended up mooring the boat in a marina at the city where the LGBT parade was held. It is sort of eclectic city, a variety of people, we love the diversity.

The marina is nice, it has locked bathrooms, showers, and laundry. There is 24 hour security and trails all over, which we can take kid and dog on. We are close to amenities, we can walk to a park, grocery, restaurants and a farmers market. We go out our door/hatch and there is the water, it is beautiful. And we pay about $400 a month, not bad.

Eventually, we will do this off the hook, for free!
