St. Patrick's Day Parade

There was a little drizzle and a lot of fun at the St Patrick's Day Parade 2010 in Chicago. We started out the jolly green day by watching the Chicago River being dyed green,which has been a yearly tradition since 1961. The river went from green to really green at 10:45a.m. We watched it all go down from the upper level bridges at Michigan Avenue, but the view from Columbus Drive is beautiful too. Once we wiped off the green mist from our faces the Chicago.com crew, Vujadin, Wanda, Jarred, Pasqual and Vinnie, went to our float and waited for the festivities to begin. The parade began promptly at noon and started at Balbo and Columbus.
