\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This year the Solstice festival in Fremont coincided with the Father’s Day weekend.\u00a0 We had a brilliant time starting with an early morning kayak on Saturday followed by the Solstice Parade.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As usual it was led off by many naked cyclists – perhaps 1,000 or more.\u00a0 Most wore colorful body paint, some didn’t bother and some should have stayed home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
So many cyclists, it turned into a traffic jam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two highlights was the “Baby Trump” and the full size horse bicycle.\u00a0 Both very elaborate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Not every day do you see a naked man on a cycling horse!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Following the cyclists, the parade took the streets through Fremont with a variety of floats, some making political statements, some just for fun and all quite colorful and full of happy people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On Sunday we took advantage of absolutely beautiful weather to go for another kayak.\u00a0 Afterwards Alice took me to brunch at Derby a restaurant at “The Shop” a club for car lovers where they can leave their specialty cars and work on them using lifts, tools and local experts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then it was time to check out the festival.\u00a0 It was packed with people enjoying the fine weather.There are many stalls selling a wide range of crafts, plenty of food trucks and stalls, a couple of beer gardens and two stages with live music.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There was also an “art car” display and we figured this took the prize for the creepiest vehicle.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>All in it was a great weekend, and a wonderful way to celebrate Father’s Day.<\/p>\n
