Today there will be 2 post as i have lots of pictures of the day and night events.
I had seen on the local news that Mobile was having their Christmas Parade. Yep .. hubby is taking me. Randall and Janice decided they would like to ride with us. The other RV couple decided to stay home.
We parked in the parking garage for the convention center, science center and several hotels.
The renaissance hotel had a funky looking Christmas tree
Here is hubby and I in front of it
Janice and Randall and then we made the men pose .. can you see how happy they were.
The Hampton Inn is across the street.
We are in the historic downtown part of Mobile, AL. They have balcony's like New Orleans.
I wasn’t sure what this tall building was .. but it has 34 floors!
The parade goes in a square and while we were waiting we headed over to …..
Here is a link that tells you about the park. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bienville_Square 
This is a memorial of the Battle of Mobile Bay, August 5, 1964. Wow, before my time. Here is a link that will tell you more about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mobile_Bay
This is a park and they had lots of things going on. I loved their Christmas tree. Janice and I posed and then …
a sweet lady took all of our picture together.
This gazebo was neat looking. I love old time historic things.
Even though it was a bit on the cool side people were out and about.
I love this cross that was located in the park as well and it was a big attraction for kids to get their pictures on.
What is a parade without clowns … I love their shoes.
After lots of walking we headed back and since we were a bit chilled we thought this sounded great …
They all got regular coffee and i got a caramel macchiato. They had iron table and chairs outside so we took advantage and sat in front of the coffee shop and enjoyed the parade.
The police bikers started the parade off
I just love these old cars
I loved these christmas girls but i bet they were cold
Hey look … Ronald McDonald
Is this Santa or a helper?
How does the Gulf have a parade without a ship .. they don’t .. pretty neat i thought
Southern Belle’s .. I have to admit this was one my favorite parts of the parade. I love these dresses .. Just glad i never had to wear them.
These little girls were adorable and i was thrilled to see the sweat shirts on them as it was a bit on the cool side.
I’m not sure what happened to Frosty but he started out straight and then he began to lean …
and then he was on his nose ..
These little fellows were enjoying their parade it was cute to see their dance moves and boy did they ever have some moves.
Yes even at their age they were enjoying the parade .. or was that their toys?
The doggies were even getting into the spirit .. or were they just wanting to be where it was warm?
I think the guy earlier was a helper because kids .. here is the real santa ..
Do you believe in Santa? I doo .. look at this face
We really enjoyed touring the historic area of Mobile and the Parade was great. I have to admit it was much warmer then last year parade in Springfield, MO. We took our coats but by the time the parade started we had taken them off today.
