We know this may come as a disappointment to many, but we did not attend the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Yes, this was our first Thanksgiving in New York City, and we still did not go to this highly popular parade... we're sorry! BUT, in our defense, we did go down to central park west the night before the parade and look at the inflatables that would be flown in the parade on Thanksgiving. I think half of New York thought this would also be fun, because there were thousands of people! If you watched the parade on TV at all, you probably recognize some of these inflatables. We thought this would be a very fun tradition for our family.
Buzz Lightyear and Kermit the Frog were my favorite.
The Macy's Stars... (and the hand of Sponge Bob Squarepants)
Kermit checking out the shoe of the balloon ahead of him in line...
Two people that live in New York, but looked very much like tourists (especially with the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic coat).
Horton Hears a Who? (<----Is that how you spell "Horton"?)
So, there you have it, we are not total losers, we did make a few "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" Memories. Oh, yeah, Mayor Bloomberg and his entourage walked past us while were looking at the dog inflatable. He didn't say hi to us or anything, we just thought it was cool we happen to go at the same time as the mayor and his family (and security guards). We actually went to Philadelphia for Thanksgiving, so we weren't even in the city to see the parade; maybe next year.

That is a definite disappointment for me...Hopefully you'll be able to go one year before you leave though. I bet the balloons were pretty amazing!
I think that looks like so much fun! Good for you guys for trying something "New Yorkish". Pics of trip??
Your first "New York" Thanksgiving and you go to Philadelphia?! What was in Philadelphia?

What? Dad's paying for us to go to NY for Thanksgiving?? Or is that just the plan and we all have to pay our own way? :(
