4th of July Parade

In an effort to avoid most of the traffic and the biggest holiday crowds, we headed east from coastal San Diego and braved 100 degree temperature to watch a holiday parade weave its way around downtown Rancho Bernardo.

Lined with flag-waving, red-white-and-blue wearing spectators, the route featured marching bands and princesses and ghost-busters and local politicians.

Plus horses and tractors and golf carts and fire engines.

An eclectic mix for sure!
