New York 26th November 2015

Today is Thanksgiving day. It is 8.20am and we are off to see the parade. We have managed to get a good spot. We have met a lady who lives in West Chester and she is keeping me up to speed with who does what and that all the helpers involved are all employees of Macys. It is a perfect day no wind which means the giant balloons will be able to be shown. The parade has lasted for 3 hours and it has been fantastic all the marching bands have been great. All the floats are so well made and the celebrities I can remember are Shawn Mendes, Panic at the Disco, Mercyme, Prince Royal, Plain White Ts, Doughtry and the star was Mariah Carey. The last float is Santa. The police and Fire service were very well received. The police horses were stunning. So glad we managed to see it the atmosphere was amazing. We made our way back to the hotel and proceeded to watch the party at Macy's where all the acts on the float took part in the show. We went out that night to an Irish restaurant where I had fish and chips and Arthur had Shepherds pie.
