I have never been to a parade nearly this big, so my dad was eager to take us there. We purchased reserved seats in the grand stands and reserved parking nearby, which definitely paid off! The hardest part was waking up at 5 AM the day after NYE to arrive on time to the 8AM parade. We were all exhausted after, but it was an awesome parade. I am still a bit snap happy with my new camera, so I basically photographed the entire 2 hour parade. Here are some of my favorite floats.
 |
| LAX had a neat float. |
 |
| Me and my older brother enjoying the parade. |
 |
| The float for those who have saved lives by donating their organs. |
 |
| Disney's California Adventure Float |
 |
| Loved the hot air balloons! |
 |
| Carter Oosterhouse and another designer from HGTV |
 |
| There was a whole house on the HGTV float! |
 |
| These guys had the coolest, most ornate outfits ever! I wonder how heavy all that is. |
 |
| So, I'm pretty sure this couple ACTUALLY got married atop this float. How cool! |
 |
| To Find A Cure |
 |
| City of Burbank's Float--So Cute! |
 |
| A little bit of country in this float. It was pulled by a humongous tractor! And check out that flag! USA! |
 |
| The closing float of the Rose Parade 2013! |
The pictures didn't turn out too great, but you get the point. lol

After sitting in traffic for nearly an hour, most of which that was in the parking garage, we headed back towards San Diego. On our way back, we stopped at the Torrey Pines Gliderport in La Jolla. Here are a couple pics I caught of these paragliders flying over the ocean! Looks like fun! They must have a great view from up there.
Happy New Year!
Love,
