Memorial Day kicked off Bicentennial Week in Doylestown. There is a week filled with activities to commemorate the Bicentennial. Besides the parade, the kick-off event was a car show. On Monday, there was a pretty cool car show at Fonthill (my favorite spot in Doylestown). It was HOT! I appreciate cars, even though I drive a 1995 civic. Maybe it can soon be in a car show.

Tonight I wanted to get out for a quick walk. I knew a storm was coming, do I grabbed the umbrella and stayed close to home with the route. Towards the end of the walk, I snapped this picture with my iPhone and used Instagram filters. I think it’s a pretty cool picture.

On Memorial Day, I was walking around Doylestown after visiting the vintage car show. I came across a huge flag in someone’s yard. While I stopped to take a picture, the owner of the house was in the yard. She gave me a history of the flag. It is from her husband’s family in Park Slope, Brooklyn. It is created around 1908-10. If I remember correctly is was after Arizona was made a state. I love history and it was great to learn the history of the flag. Also, it is the same age as the house. Cool things are everywhere you turn, when you open your eyes!

Here are some shots I took with my iPhone of the Doylestown parade! Afterwards we went to Andre’s for mimosa’s. Yummy!

Today is a big day for Doylestown. The Memorial Day parade kicks off the Bicentennial Week celebration. Excited to blog about the activities today. It is a hour and a half before the parade and people are set up. Today is the 145th year the parade. The oldest Memorial Day Parade in the US!

Have a great holiday weekend!

Last night I had dinner with friends at Andre’s in Doylestown. It turned into lots of laughs and fun times. Heard some live music with some good food and laughs!
Ps. That wasn’t my cheese, meat and olive plate- but I have had it and it is delish!

Last week, while I was in Monrovia, CA for a wedding we went to Santa Anita Park to visit. It was cool that it was right down the street from the hotel. There weren’t any races occurring, but they were exercising the horses. I was able to capture a few pictures. It was cool to see the racetrack. There was buzz at the park because the Preakness was happening later in the day. Also, the winner of the Kentucky Derby (“I’ll have another”) was from Santa Anita. While we were at the wedding “I’ll have another” won the Preakness. They are looking for a triple crown winner.

Last night I went on a great walk. We are all creatures of habits. Some examples are we go to the same grocery store, drive the same route to work, and buy the same brands of items. I have a usual route that I walk. Last night, I started at the end of my route and did my walk in reverse. It was architecture that I have passed hundreds of time, yet it was a different view. Seeing it from this view was like seeing it for the first time. There is a lesson in this. When you are stuck, change your view point. Here are some things that caught my eye during this walk. By the way, the first picture was a gorgeous Porsche.

While I was in California for a wedding, we had some delicious sushi. We went to Oto Oto in Monrovia. I was a little concerned because the yelp reviews weren’t the best, but not bad. Yummy edamame with truffle oil. Also, first time I had raw scallops. It was delish!
