A great success.

So, how was everyone's 4th of July? Mine was truly great. Brian and I drove down to my Mom's in Rockland after work July 3rd to stay the night. We were slammed at the bar and the money was great. Got up around 9ish and reintroduced Brian to my Mom and he met my stepdad Charles. We took off for the Cape just after 10 a.m., checked into the hotel in Falmouth and then made our way over to my aunt and uncle's place in New Seabury.

Brian was a big hit here. After about an hour I was getting pulled aside everywhere by my aunts/uncles/cousins telling me how great he was and how lucky I was to have him. I could do nothing else but agree. I knew he was truly accepted when I talked to my Gramps, though. He put his arm around me and said, "You done good, kid." Again, I agreed!!

We grabbed a late bite to eat back in Falmouth and watched the fireworks from the dock at the Flying Bridge restaurant. Good times despite the rain. The next day we slept in a bit, and grabbed a nice brunch at Country Fair. We did some shopping in downtown Falmouth and then ventured up North to play mini-golf. Got rained on there, but not too bad.

From there it was back to the hotel to freshen up and have a nice dinner at Roo Bar, my fave place downtown. Then it was back up North for karaoke at Parrot Bar. I sang four songs that night and was a big hit. Funny because it was a mostly country-crowd. Heck, even the karaoke guy (Scott) was dressed like Tim McGraw!! His partner was certainly no Faith Hill, though.

Good times!! Had to drive back up on Friday afternoon because I had to work at the bar. Boooooooo!! All in all it was a great couple of days!! Can't wait for our next mini-break!!
