float your boat

Every year my Grandma is OBSESSED with the Rose Parade. Big deal I say. She used to video tape the parade on tv, and then watch it throughout the year. Hello crazy. And, she HAS to go out to Pasadena to see the floats as they are being assembled. I got out of going with her many years, and this year I decided what the hell, I'll go.

I gotta say, it was pretty impressive. It's amazing how many volunteers work so long to glue those little flower petals on each float. The tv doesn't do it justice.

I'll tell you what wasn't impressive, the long lines to wait to see these things. Ugh. I could do without that.
