Last weekend Daniel and I joined my sister and her family at the Grand Illumination parade in downtown Norfolk. The parade kicks off the lighting of the christmas lights that outline the high rise buildings and the light posts in downtown. So we bundled up, warmed our tummies with some Starbucks and fought for a parking spot to get a glimpse of the festivities. I am always pleasantly surprised at how many people show up for this event. I always figure that since it is freezing, and the parking is insane that no one will show up to an after dark festival geared to children, but they do! My favorite float was the space shuttle, I also thought the fish balloon was cute!
