Independence Day

This year could not have been more perfect. The parade was awesome..so many people were in the parade and lining the streets. It started out foggy but soon cleared up and was a little on the warm side for Crescent City. After standing in line for our doughboy we all wandered around to see what was being sold then headed on down to the beach to wait for the fireworks.  The beach was perfect. The tide was just starting to go out, the fog cleared up, absolutely no clouds and we had a large stretch of the beach all to ourselves...The kids could climb on the rocks, build sand castles and squeal with delight all they wanted.  After several hours of relaxing, listening to the waves, and watching the pelican and hawk look for food we built our bonfire...Cooked corn on the cob, Taylor's Sausages, and s'mores!!!  Shortly after fillling our bellies the fireworks started!  They were amazing this year...Made it through the entire display with NO FOG!  The only trouble with sunshine like that...we are STILL sore from the sunburn..
