A Southern California New Year's Day tradition. 20+ years of living in the LA metro area, and my family has never before gone on New Year's Eve to see the floats all lined up before the parade. It was a long drive out to Pasadena, but well worth it! We got to see the floats up close, down to individual beans painstakingly glued to the signs. Everything was gorgeously elaborate, and there were tons of people, young and old, milling about. Enjoy =)
