Happy 4th of July - along Main Street

We had a spirited 4th of July parade in Santa Monica today....filled with kids on bikes, rebel types, the police and fire department who all marched down Main Street.

So many different entries....

And let's not forget the animals...

My favorite moment came when a Marilyn Monroe type character wheeled through....

Seeing so much joy generated by all the silliness made for an effervescent yet patriotic event. It does feel a bit like "only in LA."
