Bucket List Events was great! I considered doing it myself but I wanted it to be perfect and perfect it was. I wouldn't change a single thing. Bucket List went above and far beyond my expectations. My wife was so happy she actually started crying when she talked about the trip. Here are some pics of the parade from our window seat. Plus, we could go down stairs for brunch and our own private spot on the sidewalk to watch the parade. Did I mention the tickets to Hamilton? Center stage and eye level with the actors. Perfect, perfect, perfect!!
