<\/a><\/p>\nAfter the parade we went to the Seaside Museum where they were having an old fashioned social. \u00a0They had a silent auction, live band, lots of food, cake walk, bingo, and other activities. \u00a0We had lunch here and of course dessert! \u00a0They strawberry pie was not what I expected but the strawberry shortcake was amazing. \u00a0There were lots and lots of people. \u00a0We didn\u2019t stay too long because it was windy, cold, and overcast. \u00a0It actually sprinkled on us a little on our walk back.<\/p>\n We walked home along the promenade to see what kind of activity as going on on the beach. \u00a0There were lots of people set up to spend the entire day in their spots to be able to watch the fireworks. \u00a0There was a large section of the beach roped off to keep people a safe distance from where they were going to be setting off the fireworks.<\/p>\n For the fireworks in the evening we decided to find a spot in the cove to view them. People had told us that we would be able to see fireworks from several towns along the coast. \u00a0The weather did not provide the best conditions for this. \u00a0We were able to see lots of fireworks along the coast at times though. There were lots of people shooting off their own \u201cillegal\u201d fireworks. Some of them were actually better than what we saw from the Seaside show. \u00a0When it came time for Seaside\u2019s official show (after 10pm) there was no wind. \u00a0This may not seem like a problem but it did not move the smoke from the explosions so after a few, we just got to see a ball of smoke change colors. \u00a0There were also people shooting off fireworks right behind us and over our heads!<\/p>\n We did get to enjoy one of the best sunsets yet while we waited for it to get dark enough for the fireworks to begin.<\/p>\n We spent 4th of July hanging around town. \u00a0Seaside had several activities going on throughout the day. \u00a0We started the day by walking downtown to watch the parade. \u00a0The weather channel said that the high for the day was going to be 70 so we dressed accordingly. \u00a0However, it never got to 70! \u00a0I\u2019m not sure it was much above…<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
