Every year, thousands of people gather for Pasadena’s Tournament of Roses Parade with many braving the cold night for a good seat. However, I was not one of those people. I stayed home and watched the parade in comfort instead.
However, after the parade people were allowed to get up close and personal with the floats providing that they are willing to fork over 7 bucks of course.
