I have always wanted to go to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, so when I heard that Charlotte has a pretty good parade on Thanksgiving, I was game. I invited Alicia, Steve and Victoria (one of Arabella's best friends from school) to join us at the parade and then for dinner. They don't have family nearby and it was nice to have a few more people in the house for the holiday. (Sometimes the holidays are hard for me...I miss having a house full of family for every holiday and birthday.)
We took the train Uptown to get to the parade. Max, Arabella and Victoria had fun. The train filled up quickly - I was surprised at how many people were headed to the parade!
It was a little chilly waiting for the parade to start.
But once it did, we had so much fun! There were bands, floats, cars and more to see! We all had a great time, even if it was a but windy and cold out. But then again, it is the end of November so it should be cold!
It was a great parade! We had fun and can check another item off our Charlotte To-do List!
