Gasparilla Kid's Parade

We have experienced the grand-event of the Gasparilla parade one too many times in the adult world.  This year we decided to do the Gasparilla Children's Parade, which is held a month or so prior to the grown-up drunkfest version.  It was quite a different experience, mostly for the better. ;) The basic parade criteria was still there: beads, floats, pirates, cotton candy, and blue porta-potties.  The beauty was that it was all geared to the kiddos, strollers replaced rolling coolers, Capri Suns replaced Solo Cups, there were far fewer people, and capped off with fireworks at 7PM.  Perfect day...we had a blast :)
