Thanks for sharing your experience - it's both encouragement and inspiration for us to finally cross this one off the list!RobRobhttp://travellatte.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-88456438024839406952015-11-18T03:17:35.285-06:002015-11-18T03:17:35.285-06:00Watching the Macy's parade every Thanksgiving ...Watching the Macy's parade every Thanksgiving morning has been a tradition in my home for as long as I can remember - at least, whenever we're in the U.S.! I've often wondered what it would be like to actually see it firsthand and you surprised me when you said that the crowds weren't bad. I'm not a fan of the cold, though. Booking brunch with a view is a brilliant idea I'd never considered - and far cheaper than getting a hotel on the parade route. Thanks for the idea!<br /><br /><br />Thanks too for linking up to As We Saw It and #TheWeeklyPostcard. :)Linda Bibbhttp://www.aswesawit.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-30758426948143407372015-11-15T18:02:50.388-06:002015-11-15T18:02:50.388-06:00Very clever booking a hotel around the corner from...Very clever booking a hotel around the corner from the parade.

One time I was in New York for New Year's Eve (my sister lived in Brooklyn at the time) and we ended not going to Times Square due to the cold and crowds. I like your idea of booking a hotel nearby and walk late to see the parade.Ruth Rieckehoffhttp://www.tanamatales.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-33022913390384345182015-11-15T01:36:24.487-06:002015-11-15T01:36:24.487-06:00You got such great photos.

I'm still not used to Singapore's humidity, but I've never been able to handle the cold either! Thanks for sharing your parade experience. I've never been to the Macy's in person, but I usually watch.

Plus you got to celebrate with the grandparents.

We watch the parade every Thanksgiving without fail - my oldest daughter is a huge Broadway show fan so we like to see the performances of the current shows on stage to see if they are something we want to see. ( My father-in-law was a football coach for 30 years so my husband's family had never seen the parade when they were little and the first time he watched it was when we were married!!) I always say I will go see it in person "someday".
