Rose Parade – 123rd – couldn’t take place on a more beautiful morning. Sunny weather, high 70s, greeted visitors from around the world and the Pasadena locals and made for a spectacular parade route!
Excitement was building from stealth fighters flying overhead to the Pasadena police motorcycles getting the parade goers excited about the upcoming entertainment. High spirits, many smiles and a great atmosphere greeted all.
