'MERICA!! And the fun begins around Laguna Beach!
Laguna Beach is a major hotspot for the 4th of July with a lot of people coming in from the inland cities wanting to be by the beach for the big holiday. This creates some crazy crowds in a not so big city.
We took a walk this morning to go see the beginning of the madness and people are already covering almost every piece of sand and every blade of grass that you can setup on. They were everywhere! Tents setup all over the place. Well, at least for now. Tents are actually banned on 4th of July since they take up so much space and block people's views.
You get to see some interesting characters walking around on days like these. It's a lot of fun just people watching and seeing the diversity.
My only hope is that they clean up after themselves and don't let their trash go into the ocean. I know it's asking a lot, but one can hope.
I'm very happy that we don't have to try to find parking! There are probably only a handful of parking spots left in this town. And it was only 10am!! People were asking us the whole time if we were leaving because they wanted a spot. Good luck to anyone trying to find parking.
Here are some photos of the crowds:
Wishing you all a Happy 4th of July!
The fireworks tonight will be going off where you see that flag in the photo below. That's all I'm waiting for! I love things that blow up 💥 and fire! 😁
