My Birthday Week

Pirate Fest (I'm the one on the left)

There are a lot of good things and bad things about having a birthday in the beginning of June. In high school exams always seemed to be that week. That wasn’t really how I wanted to spend my birthday. I enjoy the timing of my birthday more in college because the semester is over, and, depending on the weather, it already feels like summer. This year the weather has been very kind to my birthday plans.

Last Saturday my friends and I went to Seafood Fest at the park in town. We had some seafood, looked at the booths set up, and I got a massage at one of the tents. I’m not sure what that has to do with seafood, but I’m not complaining. This park has a garden labyrinth we walked through that’s beautiful this time of the year. Luckily, there wasn’t a whole bunch of bugs yet either.

The next day we went to Pirate Fest in Port Washington. I had never been to the festival before, and I had no idea it was so popular. So many people were dressed up. After the parade we walked out to the lighthouse. I was expecting it to be cooler next to the lake, but it was pretty darn warm out. I got burnt on my shoulders where I didn’t have enough sunscreen.
