Well, the long weekend has come to a close. Back to the grind, as they say. My 4th was okay. I got to see the Talkeetna 4th of July parade! I love small town parades, they are so quaint and genuine. My favorite 4th of July parade was one in Port Angeles, Washington. This one in Talkeetna (though I heard it was the longest parade they've ever had), went by once and then back again, to be twice as long, haha. It was still only maybe 10 minutes long!
