We've never really been St. Patrick's Day Celebrating People. I've rarely gone out of my way to be seen wearing green. We aren't a couple who has ever been a "let's go out to a bar!" duo (even on non-holiday evenings). Once before in our decade living here we did venture out with some friends during the day o'vert, but from what I remember the most wondrous part of that evening was my first giant avocado burrito from La Bamba's on the way home.
This year, we did tiptoe out early(ish) in the evening, mostly to join in with Girls' Pint Out, which I recently found out about through a friend. This newly-formed group of ladies gets together a few times a month to socialize & prove that women do not have to merely sip white wine at dinner parties. They visit cool places and sample craft beer. It's something out of my typical circle of activity, but I like how diverse the range of women is and it's nice to have a the option of a new non-business-network group to congregate with occasionally.
Here are some pics (taken with poor pocket camera) from the evening, where we walked to three different spots within a local neighborhood (boys were invited along on this night, too):
