The begonia festival is the best celebration in the littlest town. Even though the town is small, the celebration is ginormous might I add. It is seriously a great time. They have activities going on all weekend long like sand castle contests (and these sand castle builders mean business people), row boat races, arts and crafts for kids, but the biggest celebration of all is the begonia parade. There are about 6-8 "floats" as we call them. These are legit floats, not the ones that look like they are floating on the street, but floats that actually float down the river. And the people make the floats out of BEGONIAS! These floats are made out of FLOWERS people!! It is the perfect site. The beach houses that we stay in actually have a little yard on the river so we always have prime seating and get to enjoy every single little thing that happens. It is the best. After the parade we obviously had to get in a couple hours of paddle boarding and went and hung out with the seals on the ocean. We paddled down the river that has the most beautiful scenery you could ever imagine. This trip went by too fast. As it normally does. But, ya know, there is always next year. Until then I will just re-look at all of our pictures for the next 11 months. Happy labor day folks! (Just a month late.. haha)

P.S. We are OFFICIALLY DONE for the summer! This past month has been a doozy. We are slowly settling, and I think I am going to be able to manage my time enough to talk about more cool stuff on my little corner of the universe here.
