Macy Day Parade 2009

I was so excited that I was going to be in New Jersey for Thanksgiving! It has always been a dream of mine to attend the Macys Day Parade!! Janene and I had to wake up at 4:30am so we could catch the 5:06am train which would arrive at 5:46am in the City. Once we walked out of Penn Station and started heading up 7th ave, all the roads were closed. So we just walked in the middle of the street all the way up to 6th and Ave of the Americans. It was extremely crowded. I mean it was so bad that we were stuck in the same stop for an hour trying to make our way to the gate. Knowing me I was sick and tired of not going anywhere, so I jumped the gate and started walking to an empty gate spot. Of course I got in trouble with the police for getting onto the pride grounds. I told them that I have to get out of the crowd before I would hurt someone. (In a kidding matter) I guess he felt sorry for us and took us right up front to a wonderful spot. Our spot is right where the floats stopped to perform! So every time the float would stop, the famous person would pose for photos and would talk with us! It was freaking awesome! The balloons are sosos much bigger in person! It takes 30 people to hold up on balloon.

The parade was more than I could ever imagine. I am soo grateful I was able to achieve one of my life dreams!
