2002 Fireworks

We watched the fireworks down at the Naples Pier.  It was a fun time except for a few annoying individuals.  We got there a full 2 hours early.  Our vantage point was over a mile away up the beach.  15 minutes before the show started a large group of people came down, laid out their beach blankets about 25 feet in front of us and then decided to stand.  They were blocking our view and everyone else around us.  Eventually Ali went up to them and asked them if they realized they were blocking the view of everyone behind them.  Some idiots even had their kids on their shoulders.  Then just as the finale starts, the annoying group decides to pack up and leave, once again blocking everyone's view.  Their exit drew a large round of applause.  Some people just have no clue, zero, none....

As you can tell by silhouette, people were standing in front of us. 

The annoying woman and her family decide to get up and leave just as the finale is starting.  People around us applauded, not for the finale, but for these idiots leaving.
