Last Saturday Kyle, Crystal and Malino asked if we wanted to tag along to the Green Port Fest in downtown Long Beach. They told us it was free, so we thought why not. It was a little crazy at first with some rain, but when it cleared up we had a fun time. We got to take a boat ride around the harbor, learn about the ports and their efforts to be more "green," eat lunch, and wait in a 1 and a half to two hour line for a balloon man. We actually stood in a lot of lines that day, but we didn't mind, because everything was free. No seriously, EVERYTHING WAS FREE! Parking, bus rise, boat ride, train ride (if we had taken it), a reusable water bottle, those grocery bags, water, lunch (really - hot dog, chicken sandwich or pizza and a drink), a small tree to plant for ourselves, a popcorn snack, a concert from a local group, and those coveted balloon animals. We didn't go to many of the booths, too busy standing in the balloon line, but it was a great day. We are definitely putting this on our calendars for next year. I mean come on, it was FREE!
