Sandfest 2013

Holy cow there were a lot of people out there!!!  I don’t do crowds—it was a good thing the sand sculptures were worth it!!  As was the people watching!   Traffic was atrocious but we managed to find a restaurant without a long line enjoying a delicious lunch! Back into the traffic, out to the beach trying to find a parking place. 

We pulled out of the line of traffic and parked behind a Prius—nope, that wouldn’t work, what if the Prius wanted to go before we did???  There was a tent set up in front of the Prius, I got out of the car and asked the couple sitting at in front of the tent if the Prius if the car belonged to them.  No, but he would be glad to pull his Tahoe forward and let me park behind him, giving him my telephone number in case he wanted to leave before we were ready.  What a nice guy!

Off we went into the crowds—holy smoke!!! 

We had an awesome day—I am so thankful to have these good friends.  Although we live far from each other we make the effort to meet up at least once a year and it is always as if we have never been apart. 

Emmi, Kelly and I went for a walk on the beach when we got back to the condo leaving Shirley and Elaine to fix the happy hour feast—they did a good job!!!  Another good day on the beach!

Look at those delicate arches—I hope the wind doesn’t blow it away before the judging tomorrow.
