We were dressed in white tails and high heels, walking alongside a beautiful carriage pulled by Clydesdale horses. It was quite a sight—and definitely not your average day at The Sea Wolf!
The parade was exciting, but those high heels, all that walking, and everything that went along with being in a parade took a lot out of us. By the time it was over, I was completely exhausted.
Apparently, I was more exhausted than I realized.
When I finally got home, I decided to take a bath. That sounded like the perfect way to relax after a long day.
Well… I fell asleep.
I have no idea how long I was asleep, but eventually I woke up to cold water.
Somehow, I had managed to fall asleep in the bathtub after spending the day marching in the Gasparilla Parade. Not exactly the glamorous ending you would expect after being dressed in white tails and walking beside Clydesdales!
Looking back, it’s one of those memories that makes me laugh. The Sea Wolf gave us some pretty incredible experiences, and apparently Gasparilla in 1980 came with a parade, Clydesdales, high heels—and a very cold wake-up call.
Just another day in the life of a Sea Wolf employee. 😂
