I've lived in California long enough to know that heading for the beach on the July 4th weekend can be a recipe for disaster. Nevertheless, to the beach we did go. Parking was hard to find, traffic was at times horrific, and throngs of people milled about Huntington Beach, aka "Surf City USA."
But luckily, kettle corn was in good supply.

One could get away from the masses and have a pleasant walk along the back streets. The day and the air were fine.
The Balboa Island grand old flag waved proudly.
Contrary to what many Easterners might think, Californians are quite patriotic. Even those "San Francisco liberals."
And so our day draws to a close...
