Gasparilla


It was windy, rainy, & chilly for the Gasparilla Parade this year. The weather was OK in the morning, when we met up with old friends at the UT brunch. The Royal Krewe of Sparta named Dad honorary King of the Krewe for 2010 and presented him with a ceremonial helmet. The weather deteriorated rapidly once we arrived at the staging area on Bayshore and waited for the parade to begin. We stood around in wind & drizzle for a couple hours until it was finally time to move out. We were wondering if anyone would show up to watch the parade, but there were plenty of people lining the route. Here are a few photos:
