After watching Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on television all my life, today I am going to get to see the parade in person!  How cool is that!?!?

Sunrise on Thanksgiving Day

Instead of fighting for a spot on the street, we had tickets for breakfast at The Waverly restaurant.  As part of the ticket, we had a blocked off portion of the street.  This meant we didn't have to stand out on the street for hours to get a spot, and it also meant only those with a ticket could be in this particular area.

The Windy City Cafe for breakfast - highly recommend!
