It was Gator Homecoming weekend and that means the public schools get Friday off for the parade. It's disappointing that Gainesville doesn't have a 4th of July parade, a Veterans' Day parade, or a Memorial Day parade. I kind of get the 4th of July lack--it's HOT in Florida. I wouldn't want to march in a parade in July. There are other events for Veterans' Day and Memorial Day, but we always went to parades when I was a kid and I miss them.
They cancel school for the public schools but not the university which is kind of funny. I kind of get the school cancellation too, since the cops close off University Ave. the school buses would have a hard time getting to their regular routes, but it's still weird.
I've gone to the Homecoming parade a couple of times and mostly felt like going this year so I'd have a photo for this blog :p I got a late start though and only caught the 2nd half. (Another event I thought about attending solely for this blog was the Gator Growl pep rally Friday night, but they had some country group I'd never heard of, and Tracy Morgan. I guess I'm the only person in America that doesn't find him funny in the slightest--I had zero interest in seeing him.)
My favorite part of the parade was watching this little boy dance when a float playing a hip-hop song cruised by us :)
He was digging it
