“…So herein is my guide to a day trip to Fiesta (and my urging to do it once in your life; there really is nothing like it).

Both of these are good for you, because there will be thousands of people down there. Again, part of the charm. I’ve been taking my children since they were toddlers, and I’ve never felt any stress on the beach…”
