Fort Bragg

For the 4th of July weekend we went to Fort Bragg with my parents and the Nix family for the weekend. It was sooo nice to get away for a few days and enjoy the cool air on the coast! It was kinda weird to not be bbqing and swimming on the 4th, but it was still a lot of fun!
We enjoyed good food, good views, good fire works, good walks, and lots of relaxation! Here are a few pictures, I made a slide show of them so I wouldn't have to make such a long post of pictures, but I couldn't get it to work! So annoying! So, I had to settled for just a long line of pictures. Enjoy!

The family, the sun was in our eyes sooo bad. So we're all squinting.
This was on Glass Beach, BTW, Glass Beach doesn't have much glass anymore
Steven and Brad out on the rocks
This is on a walk we took by our camp site. dad, mom, Ann and Ava.
Cute pic of my mom, not so great of my dad.

All of us that went out to eat, except for Ava, she didn't make it in this picture.

Grandma, Ava and me. It was pretty cold and windy that day.
The three of us again.
Just a side note, Fort Bragg doesn't seem to enforce the illegal fire works law. There were people lighting off illegal fire works like crazy!! They were all on the beach though. So maybe that was why, I don't think they can do much damage when your doing them right on the ocean. So from where we were camping on the bluffs we had a great view of everyone on the beach lighting off their fire works! There were tons of them!! They lit them for probably two hours! Brad participated as well, but he didn't do his on the beach he did his right on the bluff! The whole crowd cheered because it was so close to everyone who was up there watching...which could have been a bad thing. Luckily it didn't hit anyone.
