Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

We woke up at the crack of dawn to get a good spot.  It turns out we should have woken up before dawn even thought about cracking.  The maze of blocked off streets was difficult to navigate and I should have scouted it out the day before.

Luckily, we ended up in a pretty good place on Central Park West near 64th St.  We lucked out when someone left around 7:00 and we grabbed the spot.

I have way too many pictures to post here and I can't afford to use up all my space, so I'll only post a select few.  (Google charges $2.50/month for hosting all these photos and videos.)

7am.  (Parade starts at 9am)
We're underway!
First band.
First balloons.
Little Ronald.
Giant Ronald! (with a brain tumor)
Is this street legal?  I might want one.
Woo-hoo!
Scratch that.  Is this street legal?
Tap-Dancing Trees?
Erin says I can't have a candy-cane woman because they are creepy.
Buzz Lightyear and some blocks?
A horde of Christmas people.
It's settled.  Santa drives a GMC Yukon.
Santa, his other half, and an elf.
The end.
Oh wait, now the end.
Uh...huh?  The end?
OK, it's over.  Erin is pleased with the parade.
It was worth waking up early, but it made for a sleepy rest of the day.
