An Iowa Boy's trip to the Macy's Thanksgiving parade...
To begin the day, we awoke at 4:30 am planning to leave at 5. We
left about 5:20, not bad really.
We drove to the city, and arrived around 7:15 or so. Uncle Ron
and I dropped off the gang, and drove away looking for a place to
park. This plan resulted in Uncle Ron and I on the other side of
the parade route than the crew we dropped off.
We were forced to watched the parade about 10 feet deep in a sea of
humanity
this is just a sample of the craziness we saw....
As the parade began, the people that lived in the apartments near us
found the crowds of irritated and close quartered people more
interesting than the actual parade.
Well the parade began, and one of the first famous balloons was the
irritatingly nice and pleasant purple dino, Barney.
He may look nice on TV, but here he is big, intimidating and looking
down on us with much disdain. Beware, I know he has a secret plot
to take over the world and make us hug each other to death...
The saga continues here...
