Night of a thousand Harleys

... So Kates and I went downtown with Phoebe for the Harley parade tonight ...

Amazing. Harley-Davidson motorcycles rumbling by and they were still coming from as far as you could see. We heard estimates of more than a thousand again this year ...

Thousands of people were lining the streets to watch them ride into the harbor. And as the motorcyles parked, the rows of bikes formed a virtual outdoor museum.


The sight and sound of it all made my eyes water ...

To Phoebe, the noise was nothing. Heck, she's already endured baseball games inside the Metrodome and Wrigley Field ...

Then again, Kates and I had planned to stay downtown longer than we did tonight, to enjoy the food and live bands ... But a poop explosion in Phoebe's pants (and the fact that we forgot to put extra diapers in her stroller bag) sent us packing ...

At least we got to see the parade ...
