July 4th

I went up to my friend Stacey's house on July 3rd at night to avoid the traffic on the am of the 4th. Her neighbors go all out for the 4th. Jimi Hendrix's version of the Star Spangeled Banner was blarred at 8 am.....followed by an amazing breakfast next door. We then went to the garage and got out the bikes. There were 30 of us and we decided that we were going to be int he parade. After riding around for a bit...we found the beginning of the parade and jumped in front of the cops/fireman...they didnt say anything...so we rode most of the parade route....awesome! We got back and jumped in the ocean b/c it was so hot out. We had an amazing bbq, went to a few other parties, had some friends meet up with us...fireworks off the pier....good times for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
