Following an overnight stay at Bay View State Park we drove a short distance to Anacortes, WA for lunch followed by a walk along the main street. As we neared the end we noticed people gathering along the sidewalks and were soon met by the sounds of the local high school marching band warming up for what turned out to be their home coming parade. I couldn't help but think of how many towns, large and small, across our country share this common experience of parades, marching bands, and Friday night football. It made this short day trip feel like a home coming for us too.
