Travels of Rob and Cat: HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERY ONE. OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY!

I woke up early; everyone else on the boat were lazioids. So, Bella and I went for a nice walk.

Bloomie texted me, he was up early as well. Tony, Holly, Rob, Bloomie and I will all spend the 4th celebrating together.

Blooms arrived around 7:30. Sausalito is have a 4th of July parade so we decided to walk over and check it out. None of us could even remember the last time we even went to a 4th of July parade. We used to always have the golf cart parades at the ranch. They were always fun. People went all out to decorate their golf carts.

We walked to town and found our spot on the street. Holly immediately went off and went shopping. She came back a little while later with a new sun dress.

The parade finally started with the Sausalito Fire Department and Police Dept.

Then the Mayor and the former mayor

And some other officials.

Cal’s marching band went by which was awesome.

Some senior center dancing groups went by, a couple high school stuff and a couple floats. then it started to get hot so we decided to head over to PIVOTAL Helex.

Rob and I registered to do a simulator demonstration.

Rob did it first and I decided I didn’t want to do it so I let Tony do it in my stead. Im glad I did, because Rob said he was a bit nauseated after doing it.

It’s an odd thing. You land vertically, practically straight up and down. The thing has been flying all around us and the funny thing is that it has an actual helicopter following it all around. Not sure if that is a safety thing, or a promotional deal or what.

At any rate, we went back to the boat to continue our 4th of July activities which consisted of…..paddle boarding, dinghy rides, watching the water activities, eating and consuming adult beverages.

There are some very cool boats here in Sausalito gathering for the festivities.
