For many out celebrating this weekend, thoughts of what they have endured over the past year are top of mind.
“I mean it’s really surreal, everything changed a year ago and no one really expected it,” said Isabella Moore, a visitor to Klyde Warren Park in Dallas. “It hit me really hard, both mentally and physically.”
Moore was vaccinated Friday and said she s surprised by the number of people out who refuse to wear a mask.
“It’s upsetting because the pandemic isn’t gone yet, but people do what they please so I guess that can’t be changed,” she said.
