Seafair Torchlight Parade 2012

This weekend was the Seafair Torchlight Parade in Seattle.  It's the largest parade in the pacific northwest and the community float was entered in the parade.  It definately made for a long weekend!

First stop was to eat dinner at the Rainforest Cafe, which was the inspiration for the float this year.

Our hotel was in Tukwila and the float had to be ready and in place super early in the morning, so the dads went with the float early and the girls had a little more time to get ready.  In order to get to the float location, we had to take the hotel shuttle to the light rail system, ride the rail to Westlake Mall, take the monorail from Westlake to Seattle Center, and walk from Seattle Center to the float location.  The girls spent some time texting while waiting for the monorail. ;)

Pretty girls!

Cheesy girls!

It was a long day, but a good day.  The girls had a great time and enjoyed the parade, so that's what makes it worth it.
