15. We had dinner at "The Back Porch" right on the parade route. Fran sat with a glass of wine while I went out taking pictures before the parade. That way I can get up close and don't have to stand behind the barracades set up to keep the crowds back. |
16. Fran had Flounder with scallops and a twice baked potato and I had shrimp and scallops with a twice baked potato. Our best meal ever. |
