You are welcome, I just wanted to give everyone and Idea of other things happening in the area while they are here. Being the summer time,I thought people may be interested in staying longer for the Beach or at least visit the festivals on that weekend. I know when I travel to compete I like to relax after I am done. Just tying to help out anyway I can.
