Picture Perfect at 'The' Parade

Every year Grandma Crane watched the Tournament of Roses Parade on New Year's Day, so we watched it, too. She went to see it years ago when she had the traveling bug. I must be getting old, because I wanted to watch it live as well. The parade begins with the Master of Ceremonies riding in a classic car (only 7 in the world) covered in blooms. I have included some of our favorite floats or masterpieces. The first float, Trader Joe's is one that Jim Crane Jr. and his daughter helped decorate. Our VIP stadium seating was amongst the media, relatives and moguls of the Tournament folk. One of the photos, Allan, in his hat is coming up the stairs.
