Good morning, Tish.  Wow!  I love those things.  I have seen a couple on television a couple of years back (when I watched television).  Perhaps you can videotape some of it for us and FB?

Your area is so full of wonderful events.  They have wonderful boat events in Newport Beach..its' a site to see.  I'll show this blog at our next town meeting to see if the local hotel or someone who has a boat in one of the slips might not like to entertain.  Maybe we could help decorate.  Looks fabulous. :)

Boat parades are fun events. It's usually raining in Seattle for the Holiday parade, but I try to be somewhere so I can watch a little of it every year.

Lokks fantastic. My calendar of "must see" events around the country is filling fast. It is becoming skewed to your neck of the woods. I often describe my move to the US as a "whole new adventure", and daily I am never disappointed.
