Barracks Row Fourth of July Parade

There were a lot more participants than spectators, but I suppose that's the way these things always start out. This is the second year for the parade.

Spectators.

Allons enfants de la patrie.

Capitol Hill BID.

Staging on D Street SE.

Most of these Minis had Virginia and Maryland license plates.

Singing the National Anthem over the years, and pledging the Pledge of Allegiance made me a good little moderate Republican when I started college...

Alas, my batteries died and I didn't have spares, so other than these, I wasn't able to take more photos.
