This was really cool...check it out...

Last weekend, we took a drive, and pulled off the freeway to get food and gas. We saw this huge banner that said something about sand sculpting and decided to go check it out. It ended up being the last day of the show, and we really enjoyed it. I guess it is one of the largest scale sand sculpting competitions around the US. One of the guys from it said the next one this scale was going to be in Florida. It is amazing what people can do simply with sand. I don't necessarily like every one of the sculptures per say, but the detail, etc is still amazing. There were a couple I thought were just weird, but the detail was still awesome. Here are about half of the ones we saw. Ignore the shadow lighting. The sun was coming from behind. If you click on the pics, you can see better details. Check it out..pretty amazing....
