July Parades - #2

In an effort to wipe out the first parade of the month we once again decided to sllep out on the street with several thousand strangers.  This time we kept to our tried and true 24th of July Parade in Salt Lake City (Days of '47 - a founders day sort of thing that is huge in Utah). 

Ahhh, much better.  The night before the parade the street fills up with classic cars of all sorts cruising up and down.  The kids play, the old folks play cards, we all sleep.  The street fills up early with marathon/half marathon and 5k runners.  Neither Jeff or Trystal ran this year, maybe next year?  Street vendors are everywhere.  (7/24/11)

Then the parade itself.  It moves right along and there are plenty of marching bands, floats, politicians,  horses, carriages and a good time for all.  I think we'll stick with the Days of '47 Parade--don't forget!
