4th of July in Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach

Living in the South Bay in LA has many advantages.
We have great beaches, many choices for restaurants and bars and we live close to LAX for when we want to get out the South Bay and travel.

4th of July was just a typical holiday for me. My bf and I had lunch at Sangria in Hermosa Beach with a carafe of sangria. Met up with my Yelper friends [top photo] www.yelp.com and headed to the Lighthouse and had a cocktail or two.

Watched some margarita wrestling...what is margarita wrestling you ask? Well on the beach they put a kiddy pool fill it with something that resembles and smells like margarita mix and girls in their bathing suit wrestle....good fun.[middle photo]

Uhhh...it didn't take long before I had enough and headed down the strand to the Seaside Lagoon in Redondo Beach to have some beer and listen to some bands, watch a lazer light show and the fireworks off the pier.[bottom photo]
