I checked them out on the way home last night. Watching the kids' faces is always a highlight for me.The parade passes about 50 feet from the front door of my building. We get a chance to steal up to the roof and watch it from above - very cool

Can't wait for more Brad. Especially since I watched the wrong channel today (CBS not NBC). I think I saw more balloons in those few pictures than I did on the TV today. (Not really, but I didn't see many more than that.)
