Happy St. Patty's Day!

We love St. Patricks day! I will even go as far as ranking it in my top 5 of all holidays. Whats not to love? Everyone, Irish or otherwise all come out to celebrate, we gorge ourselves in corned beef and cabbage and there is the always fun task of turning everything you can think of green; beer, mash potatoes, cookies, nails, hair etc. When Todd and I first got here one of the first things we learned about lil ol' Newport is that they have a big ol' Irish population and that St. Patty's day is a huge celebration! Never been known to shy away from any sort of celebration/party, Todd and I wasted no time putting on everything that we could find green , met up with our equally obnoxious green friends and had a great day! There was a parade followed by hundreds of people celebrating in the streets. This place just gets better and better!
