Around 6 we walked to Colorado Blvd and scouted out for good parade watching locations. There were so many chair that people had set up already along the street. Some people even had blow up mattresses that they had slept on over night or mini fireplaces to stay warm and cook food.
We found a spot behind a few blow up beds. After they woke up and deflated the beds, we moved up and were right behind just one row of chairs. So we had a great with no one standing in front of us.
Waiting for the parade to start and staying warm.
Only some of the people. I heard there were about a million people along the parade route.
There were airplanes writing messages in the sky. At first it was cool because it was festive, "Happy 2009" but then...
...it got lame because they started advertising for television shows.
And it begins.
First float of the parade.
This one moved a lot. All the little robot characters twisted and turned and waved.
The Hawaii band.
The B2 Stealth Bomber was pretty cool, but it only flew once over our heads. What a waste.
He twirled this rope around that horse the entire route. Poor guy. His arms must have been so sore at the end.
Probably my favorite float.
This float had a dog that would skateboard around the inside and they played, or should I say, blared the song, Who Let the Dogs Out.
There was another little "float" like this. They were bumper cars. I don't think they were allowed to bump each other.
Cool hats.
It's hard to see him, but on the back part of the float, the guy from Jack in the Box is dancing.
The end.
