if flowers or floats make you smile, or marching bands make you merry, or horses make you happy, the place for you to be on new year's day is colorado blvd. in pasadena. since 1890, the rose bowl has been the thing to see. this year, the 121st rose parade was no exception. with 41 floats, 22 marching bands and23 equestrian units, there is something for everyone. on the night before the parade you will finds the curbs packed with people rallying for the best spots. this year "sully" sullenberger, the pilot who bravely crash landed his jet in the hudson, was the grand marshall. my personal favorite part of the parade is cheering on the men and women who bravely follow the horses armed with shovels and trash cans on wheels. my least favorite part is trying to decide which floats to take a picture of--they are all so beautiful and masterly crafted (how do they get all those flowers on there...) i wound up taking way too many pictures...
