I've wanted to go to the Rose Parade for a long time and we finally got there this year! It was a great experience that our family got to do with friends. We bought bleacher seats and a parking spot ahead of time, so it was relatively easy when we got there in the morning. It's so different than on TV because you experience the sheer volume of people all around you. That involves many different sights, sounds and smells! We had a great view from our seats and enjoyed "people watching" before the parade. What an awesome way to spend new year's day-with friends in the sunshine seeing beautiful things! Happy New Year! (The smaller ones are Cindy's pics.)
Walking down Colorado Blvd. to our seats early in the morning. The place looks pretty trashed!
Funny sign.
It was pretty sad how many people walked down the street with signs like these. It just seemed to us that it wasn't very encouraging!
Hanging out before the parade.
This guy entertained us with his superman snuggie. He was pretty proud of it!
The Carl's Jr. employees had a good (dangerous) view.
Luis and Scott people watching.
Showing Canadian pride before the parade.
This bomber flew over at exactly 8:04am.
This lady was selling interesting smelling hotdogs. Luis was trying to convince Scott to get one. Thankfully he resisted.
Our morning ended with lunch at In-N-Out. Awesomeness!
After each entry with horses, groups of these guys would follow. Too funny!
