Thanksgiving In NYC

Thanksgiving in NYC! An exciting adventure :)

Up EARLY to get a good spot in Times Square for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
We grabbed our spot around 6:15 am :) It was a good spot!

Times Square at Sunrise

The crowds at the parade - we never got on TV because we were in the spot where all the camera people also wanted to be. Oh, well, we had the best view!

My favorite show as a kid - there were several of the
classic Sesame Street characters on this float!

It was fun watching the balloon handlers - they all have matching outfits and vests. In between floats and balloons, clowns came over to the crowds. They told us jokes, threw confetti, and wished us a Happy Thanksgiving. We were right in the front, so we got a lot of clown-fives :)

SANTA!!!! Forget all the famous people we saw - here he is!!!

We walked through Central Park. It was a lovely, warm day!

5th Avenue - we looked at all the fancy, Christmas window displays.

The Tree in Rockefeller Center. We didn't get to see the lighting ceremony because it was scheduled for a later date, but we plan to see the one here in D.C. next week :)
