Photo of the Day: Life’s a beach

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Last week’s Decatur Beach Party was a chaotic, noisy nirvana in the midst of Atlanta’s landlocked summer. This event has been going on for more than 20 years and it’s a bigger hit than ever. It’s pretty clear why Decaturites and Atlantans from all over love it though — you can get down and dirty with your kids in the sand in between beers and funnel cakes. Or you can grab a lawn chair and watch the merriment from afar with only your toes in the sand. Any way you take your faux beaches, you’ve got to admit they’re fun.
