Yeah, I drove by the Chalet around 11am both on Sat & Sun. There was still plenty of parking at the beach lot on both days. I still haven't had a chance to hook up with my cop neighbor to find out about reserving parking. I think I'll call the National Park Service tomorrow about reserving some parking as I believe the beach technically falls under their jurisdiction.

The events person at the Tied House got a crease in her undies when I mentioned that we would be getting together out in the parking lot after lunch. I tried to tone it down a bit, but she warned me about "cutting into their revenue" by staying too long. Oh please, shoot me now....

Overall, the Tied House would be simpler, we meet, eat, crank some beers, meet, and everything is taken care of. I just think the Beach Chalet would be a blast, especially on a sunny day like this weekend.
