so after a long day of driving, we took things easy. breakfast rooftop, beach time, lunch listening to the sitar player, and a healthy nap.

when it came to fireworks, however, it was a different story. one of the very reasons we camped up in carlsbad was because oceanside usually has fireworks. but they were canceled this year, so matthew and i had to seek them out elsewhere.

lucky, kevin phillips and was up in long beach with his crew, and matthew and i made the trip up there to hang out with them. so, while you will notice there are no pictures of fireworks, it's because i didn't actually get to see any. but matthew did, and that is the important part.

overall, it was a super relaxed day, and we needed it.
