Eagle's Super Bowl Parade

It's Thursday night and it's raining hard!  Tonight was busy.  The older kids had their classes at the NAC.  Let's go back to last Thursday and the Eagles Super Bowl Parade.  Everyone was expecting the driving to be bad into the city so train tickets were at a premium.  I ran all over the area trying to get train tickets but I couldn't get them so it didn't matter.  Aden and I drove down around 9 for the 11:00 parade.  So crazy, 95 was deserted.  Forget the parade, where is the rush hour traffic?  
 Our friends that live near the art museum saved us a spot.  That was awesome of them.
 We hung out at their house a bit.
 Aden likes the boys.
 The area was mobbed.  Every restaurant and bar was open and super crowded.  People were parked everywhere.  On corners, on sidewalks.  
 We walked along the Parkway to where I used to work and where my friends still work.  They were having a party in the building over looking the parade route.  People were climbing on everything to get a better look.


 Up in the office looking down at JFK Plaza.  
 Back towards City Hall.  That's a lot of people!



 Aden and the boys played tag.
 The adults ate and watched the parade on the tv and out the window.

 Looking up the Parkway towards the Art Museum.
 JFK Plaza has been shut down for about 2 years while it was rebuilt.  I think they did a horrible job.  
Here comes the Eagles!
 There were more than 20 buses of the Eagles and their families.  


 Michele and I.
 After the parade went by, Aden and I went onto the street to follow it to the Art Museum for the speeches.  
 The streets were crazy!




 Aden and I are trying to catch up on Meek Mill and all the rap they were playing and everyone seemed to know.  

We eventually made it to the Art Museum but it was too crazy.  When the speeches started we went to the car to listen to them.  Have a great weekend!
