First day in Southern Cali...and we're off to the Rose Parade! It starts at 8am PT, but our hotel was about 1 hour away, so we had to leave our hotel around 5am to give us enough time to drive there, find a parking spot, and walk the few blocks up to the parade site to get a good seat. Well worth it!
First up.....Honda's float. The wheels on the car actually moved!
Some other impressive floats...
The Dole float actually had a working waterfall on it!
Who wouldn't want a pickle car made of flowers?!
Best costume award....
The Indonesian float was the absolute best float of the day....hands down!
Apparently not everyone was impressed though. I spotted these two gentlemen in blue flannel (along with their lady friends) sleeping halfway through the show.
Here is the same street just after the parade ended.....HUGE crowd!
After the parade, we headed over to Huntington Beach for lunch. For those who were at our wedding you may remember these.....
BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse is where we first got the idea for our wedding Pizookies. So we HAD to have some after lunch! One cookies and cream, and one red velvet!
After lunch it was back to the hotel for a nap and light dinner, then early to bed since we aren't quite used to the new time zone.
