Easter Day Parade

Or should I say East Aaargh Day Parade.  You can't do anything in this town without pirate infringement.  A look at this parade is a look into prehistoric Mardi Gras.  You can see how it will probably evolve over the next several hundred years.  For now though it mostly has a wholesome, hometown feel.  So grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy the show.

This first clip ends with a shot of Sophie and her mom Kayla.  We were watching Sophie for Kayla until her dad could take over.  We are on the north side of the Plaza de la Constitucion across from the Cathedral Basilica and the Wells Fargo bank.  You can see that the parade turns off of Avenida Menendez at the Bridge of Lions and comes past us down Cathedral Plaza.

They weren't trying to get fancy on this one, its just that a dog had run out in front of the horse.

This one includes some Easter hokey-pokey and some Easter skating

Somebody went to a lot of trouble on this pink fire truck, but for a good cause.

Easter Storm Troopers and Darth Vader? Easter wenches??  Easter pirates???

This one may give you that small town, family outing feel.  Its pretty cute.

Sorry, but I just don't get the Easter armadillo at all.

And finally of course, you can't go a weekend in St. Augustine without...

PIRATES!!!!!

HAPPY EAST AAAARGH!!!!!
