5th Annual Terramar 4th Of July Parade

When our friends Cec and Katie sent us an invitation to their neighborhood “4th of July Parade,” we honestly imagined a couple strollers with flags taped on and Cec in a Uncle Sam costume. We thought we’d stroll the neighborhood waving to strangers and write it off as performance art.

Img 0207When we arrived at Terramar at about 11:20, however, what we found was a completely decorated neighborhood and a parade lead by a red Lincoln Continental convertible with floats, people in costumes, and Captain Mike Davis of the Carlsbad Fire Department behind the wheel of Carlsbad’s old-time fire truck. And yes, there was even an Uncle Sam in the march. We were overwhelmed by the sense of community, neighborhood pride, and America love. It made us damn proud to be Carlsbadistanians.

Thanks for letting us see the parade on the website. Bummed we didn’t know about it before today.
