What is there to do on the 4th in FL. One could go to one of the numerous parks and stand in line for hours waiting to jump on the latest and greatest ride. We thought about it but decided against it. Well that left basically one thing left to do and that's hitting the beach. Well for those of you who don't live on the coast you may not have heard of Red Tide. I actually don't have a definition for Red Tide so I can't tell you what it really is. All I know is that it kills fish and lots of them. Now image thousands of dead fish on the shore rotting away. It's about the worst smell imaginable. I do have to give Clearwater credit because they work very hard at keeping their beaches cleaned up so it doesn't smell to bad there. However, they can't clean the water enough to make one want to swim in it. So we were stuck baking away on the beach. It was still fun though. After hanging out on the beach for 8 hours we heading out to watch the fireworks. It was a great show and we were only suck in traffic for about 30 minutes.
I missed hanging out with the family on the 4th though. There's nothing like anchoring a pontoon in the middle of the lake and having two ski boats pulling skiers and a jet ski to boot. Then lighting off fireworks on the dock at the end of the night.
