As predicted Huntington Beach was a madhouse this weekend. All of the parking spots in the numbered streets were taken by 11pm the night before, and I was officially trapped. I decided that I wasn't allowed to be a brat about it, and I had to just make the most of things. So early in the morning I walked down to main street to watch the parade with the rest of the ward. There's a house of guys that lives down on main street, that hosted a little breakfast party for the ward. By the time I got down there I was already feeling overwhelmed by the hoardes of people that I had to wade through just to get to the party.
After the parade I followed the masses to the beach. You can't really see from the pictures how crowded it is because I stood behind the yellow taped off portions. Anyway, suffice it to say the water was so crowded that I decided I didn't want to risk having some big burly man washed into me, so I stayed relatively close to shore most of the time.
The people have finally started to clear out this afternoon. I actually was okay with the beach crowds, and the parade crowd...the out-of-town Mormons though...I'll save that for the next post.
