More Family Time

On Saturday Dave, Laila(Dave's gf), Kelly, Steve and I all headed to Laguna Beach. We took a drive up to Top of the World (it's a street/park in Laguna with an awesome view). I wanted to show Dave and Laila the running trails through Laguna Canyon.

You can't quite see the Pacific behind us, it was a little foggy and windy

That's Irvine and Lake Forest behind us

Then we headed to La Casa Del Camino Hotel for lunch. They have a rooftop restaurant with an even better view.

Then on Sunday we drove down to Fiesta San Clemente. We thought it was going to be a small street fair, not quite.

Better to be in front of than in one
Dave attempting to throw darts at balloons. He wasn't very good.
Laila on the other hand was a pro.

We found seats in front of a candy shop (in the shade). There was a band playing to the left.And then they had to drive home. Booo!Come visit us again soon!

Kelly's a Senior

I can't believe my little baby sister is a senior in high school! Kelly has been one busy girl. She spent her summer volunteering at hospitals, participating in reading programs with underprivileged youth and just finished a leadership program at UC Berkeley. Geesh!

This past weekend she came to visit with my brother and we took a tour of one of the colleges she is applying to--UCI. We had some quality brother/sister bonding time. It was a lot of fun and I got to show her my old "hangout spots". I think she is leaning more towards San Francisco, we'll see. She applies this fall and I am sure wherever she ends up, she will learn a ton and have the best years of her life.

That Time of Year Again

Last Friday Steve and I went to PAAMCO's Annual Summer Party. This year it was at Savannah in Huntington Beach, right on the sand near the pier. As always, we had a great time. The food was fantastic, the live band was great and seeing everyone again is always a treat. There have been a few engagements, weddings and babies within the last year so there was a lot to chat about. My bf Eileen, who plans the yearly event, did a terrific job!
