To the Big Apple and Back, or No Fun Left Behind

Memories of my trip to NYC with Colin and his family:

the architectural marvels,



the chaos that is The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade,

My favorite ballon animal in the parade, Snoopy!

This photograph was my pride and joy--I hope you can see why.  Often times I think I must be part mid-puberty male adolescent.

This balloon terrified me.  If this is the face of the up and coming cartoon character of the ages, I'd proffer that kids these days have a much stronger psyche than I will ever have.
