Pride Parade
The town of Anacortes was having a Pride Parade while we were there, so we of course had to go and watch. I dressed up in the brightest color I had because I did not remember to pack anything rainbow (and I unsurprisingly own a lot of rainbow), popped in my pride earrings and we drove downtown. We parked down the street and walked to the parade. It was cool to see this tiny town all come out for the parade. Churches were there giving out flags, so I got my flag to wave and waited for the parade to start. The parade was super cute and had a lot of participants! It could have used a lot more music, but I was impressed with how many community members and organizations participated. My favorite part was all of the dogs that walked the parade. After the parade was over, there was a pride celebration at the local park, but Tyler and I decided to get some brunch.
Brunch
Our brunch was amazing. We went to a restaurant right on the Main Street called Anacortes Calico Cupboard Cafe and Bakery. We started with a fresh maple bacon cinnamon roll, which might have been the best cinnamon role that we have ever eaten. I got a hash with local potatoes and local butternut squash that was so good and Tyler got French toast made with some of those amazing cinnamon rolls. I also had a lovely chai tea latte. It was all incredible. Happily stuffed we headed back to the RV to have a lazy day because it was raining and gloomy. We spent the rest of the day getting caught up on blog posts, napping and watching Harry Potter movies. We have found that it is so important for us to have lazy days, even though we want to always be out seeing everything, so we don’t burn out on travel.
