Who knew there was a nation wide sand sculpting competition? Lucky for us it's held right here in our own back yard! We went with the Coxs and Wests to check it out after church today... We were really excited to see all the cool sandcastles and had no idea how big of an event this was. After driving in jam packed traffic going 5 mph for some time we finally found a spot four blocks away from the beach (which we were excited about because it was actually closer than we thought we would get.) We made our walk toward the beach and saw the amount of people around us growing as we got closer. We knew there would be awesome sandcastles on the beach, we didn't know there would be a gazillion people, fair booths and street vendors there too. There were seriously SO many people there, like you couldn't move without bumping into some random person next to you! It was crazy!! The viewing time was from 3-4 o'clock at 4:00 the tide came in and starting washing all the sculptures away, along with all of the people... everyone in our group got hit by a big wave and we were all drenched! We walked the four blocks back to the car very wet and sandy. But we had a lot of fun the whole time!!
That is A LOT of people!
supposedly there were 300,000 people there... woah!
