Happy St. Pats!

Top o' the mornin, friends! ;) Just a quick note wishing you a Happy St. Patrick's Day! The NCAA Tourney is here this week, which is SO exciting! So, our downtown (where I work) is going to be infused with crazed bball fans AND St. Patrick's celebrations-Awesome! :) Hoping to walk down to McNellies (if the name doesn't let you know it's an Irish pub, you need to have some morning caffeine) after work for a festive green beverage!

Hope you remembered to wear green! Have a good one!

The above pic is from Chicago... I've always wanted to go when they dye the river green for St. Pat's. :) Does your city do anything festive like that? Dye the river? Have a parade? Etc?

We do here in Indy! We turn our canal green every year, it's so fun! (I found a photo here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/wiredaftermidnight/424383579/ )

I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Chicago and watch the river turn green! I hear it's a crazy madhouse!

As for my fair city, apparently we have one of the largest and best St. Patty's Day parades in the country. I wouldn't know, I've never actually seen it. :( But it's on my bucket list! Maybe next year since it will be on a Saturday.

I lived next to Chi town for 5 years, and have never been there for St Pats! Crazy, I know! Enjoy your green drink and the rest of the day :-)

San Francisco always has bag pipers running around the city plus we have an irish pub or two in every little neighborhood so you can't miss out!

This year did not disappoint even though bambino and I just waited till husby came home to tell us all about it this year :)

We had a bunch of people "sick" or just taking the day off work because St. Louis has a HUGE Irish population and there's a big parade in one of the neighborhoods. I wish we dyed the river green though!
