Every year my mom and I go to Pasadena after the Rose Parade to look at all the floats. It used to be a family affair, but as I grew older it became more of just a mom and I thing. We have been going every year with the exception of just a couple of years for many years. I love going down there. We have our own little place that we park, that no one else really parks there. Of course it isn't the best the place, because you have to walk about almost 1/4 of a mile to the entrance to the parade route, and it is mostly down a pretty steep hill. Which by the way makes for a very nice workout on the way back since you have to walk back up the hill. But my mom and I don't mind because we don't have to fight with crowds or pay money to park. This year Brandon was finally able to go with us. So it was nice that he was able to join us. He has never been to see the floats up close, so he really enjoyed it. I am only putting up pictures of the floats that we really liked. There are just too many pictures to put them all up. We had a great time, plus it was great exercise, walking around for 2 1/2 hours. :)
