OK, We are waiting patiently!
I got screwed up today, had two doc appointment & thought I had a haircut, plus spent the afternoon waiting for the cable-guy.
About 4 o'clock I saw a trailer for the news & all of the Veteran's Day goings on film @ eleven? Then it hit me!

I had a great time. I drove about 65 miles total and the parade speed was 3 to 4 mph and I had no truck problems YIPEEE
When we got there I met up with a Vietnam vet and retired Chief Warrant officer who needed a ride and a active duty A1C from the air force who also jumped in my truck. Well we had a great ride lots of people were along the parade route. Its a day I will remember. It was a great first parade experience.
I really didn't get to take alot of pictures but here is what I have.
Me and Dad
A1C Collins and CWO Thompson
There was lots more!! Bands color guards and other vehicles. I just got too busy driving to snap any more pictures during the parade.

WOO HOO! GO AIR FORCE!! Airman Collins can ride with me any time! Heck, I might even let her drive. 
All that aside, I'm glad you had a good experience with your first parade. Looks like you had much better weather than we did, too! It was 26 degrees here with a steady rain/snow mix during our ceremony. I can tell ya for sure that the mouthpiece on my bugle was ice cold!
