I don't know how many of you got to see the Tournament of Roses Parade, but I wanted to simply because I knew the National Association of Realtors was rumored to be making an amazing float for the big day.  As a member of the association I was curious to see it.  Apparently the float won an award that day!  See the article here and if you are curious to see the float and some of the details behind it, there's a link you can go to with videos.  It was a beautiful float and made me proud of what I do for my clients - assisting them on the path to homeownersip!
