Calistoga 4th of July Parade

For the second year in a row, we took our two and a half year old grandson to the 4th of July parade in downtown Calistoga and, for the second year in a row, he was mesmerized by the jubuliant cast of characters marching, dancing, singing and riding in super colorful floats-- especially the new and vintage fire engines and the Civil War Days in drag. He also got to clap his hands to the hispanic equestian show of prancing horses. Some floats were fancier than others but, all together, it was truly a step into Americana.
