Our trip to the OC and the OC Fair

Although you can't see them through the trees, D and L went on this roller coaster!!!  

Sleepy L eating dinner at Wahoo's.  

After a FABULOUS brunch at the Rama's house, we (That would be us!) headed down to Orange County to spend some time with my dad.  When we arrived at his house it was 95 degrees, so we opted to swim and relax rather than drive directly to the Fair.  Do you know how wonderful it is to have an ENTIRE pool to yourself?!?  After swimming, we took naps, ate a yummy dinner, and we hopped back in the car to take the boys to their first OC Fair.  Bright lights, roller coasters, dipped cones, live music, a zoo of animals and the largest vegetable garden I had ever seen were some of the highlights of our trip.  At 11:15, we drove back home and dropped in bed.  The next morning, we relaxed and enjoyed my dad's house.  The most WONDERFUL part:  sitting by the pool, listening to Sade, reading my Mary Higgins Clark book, and savoring the time ALONE for TWO HOURS!!!  At 4, we drove to Huntington Beach, visited with my Uncle Danny (who recently had open heart surgery) and my Aunt Cheryl.  It was GREAT to see them.  Then, down to Main Street we went!  We walked out to the beach, scaled the pier and back, and ended our time with dinner at Wahoo's.  The service was INCREDIBLE!!!  On our way home, we decided to take the PCH until we reached Long Beach and then grabbed the 405 home.  36 hours had never been so fun!
