Thanksgiving Day Parade

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2012
I've watched the Macy's Parade on TV every Thanksgiving Day for as long as I can remember.  It was absolutely surreal to be there in person.  I felt like a little kid as I anxiously waited for the next big balloon to sneak out from behind the building.  The parade routes were packed, but we managed to push our way up close enough to have a great view.  People were watching from office buildings and apartment windows all up and down the parade route.  Spectators even put up ladders in the back of the crowds to get a good view.  Kids crawled up on phone booths and the tops of bus stops for a bird's eye view.  Can't wait to continue this tradition again next year!    

My first glimpse of a balloon!  Charlie Brown making his way past Central Park.









My favorite!  Looks like she was looking right at us!

The guest of honor!
