Last Sunday we went to the Holiday Parade. It was a huge parade and was brocasted by NBC.
Get up early is never my habbit. But I have to get up by 6:30am to set for 7:30 arrival time for the parade. I prepared some eating in the car friendly breakfast and dressed up my DD (Dear Daughter), then started our journey today. We had trouble to find parking space because of the traffice control and highway exit closed. Finally, turned around several times, we found a $5 parking space (not bad). From the parking lot to staging area is several blocks walk distance. So, we arrived there around 8:00am and assumed that we will start right on time at 8:30am. But after minutes passing away, and even after 9:00 AM, we are still waiting in the staging area. Finally, close to 10:30am we start to move. And the whole parade route is about several blocks walk distance just like the distance from our parking lot. So less than 20 minutes we finish the whole walk and only less than 3 minutes we pass the NBC brocast station.
My feeling is mixed. It is fun to participate the big evant, but it's also not worthy for all the preparation, getting up early, sacrifice of DD's healthy sleep, and Saturday family outing time for only 20 minutes parade and 3 minutes in front of camera time. I was exhausted and my DD is so tired that she need Daddy to carry her all the way back to our parking lots. (What a great Dad he is!)
Anyway, it's all done and I can't wait to rush home to watch the recording. It took total of 5 hours of time invested in this event today (from 6:30am to 11:00am), if I can see about 3 seconds of clip of my DD from the news on TV, I think it's still worthy. So, I turned on the TV and DVD recorder, and fast forward all the other groups marching by, but just no clue of where is DD's group. And the worst of all is that the NBC screen wasn't even shows the caption of DD's group name. Oh! Weeell!!! This is still a good memory to keep!
