Of course, since cold weather had chased us from Missouri to Oklahoma to Texas it was to be expected that it would join us in Southern California as well. As we walked to our seats along Colorado Blvd at 6:30 am we had multiple layers of clothes and jackets on to hold out the 36 degree cold.
Once in our seats it was obvious, because of all the Dragon colors around us, that we were surrounded by Round Rock friends and families. But, we were still cold.
As the parade started we were thrilled to see the Northrop B2 Spirit (Stealth Bomber) fly directly overhead.
The Round Rock Dragon Band was the 11th attraction in the parade so we didn't have to wait long to scream and show our support for the band.

They got plenty of air time on the television stations with Al Roker singing Sweet Caroline along with the band. Jessica is in row 6 (4th row from the back) and second line from our side of the street.

The rest of the parade lasted 2 hours and it took us nearly that long to get out of the Pasadena area after the parade.
