Didn't Happen As Planned

Well my plans kind of fell through, nobody made it here in time to go to Long Beach to watch the Red Bull Flugtag.

We didn't make it down to the beach early enough to secure a bonfire pit. I called my sister who lives 45 min. away to tell her that we would still bbq at the beach but NO bonfire. Then my hubby just randomly called his friend to see how the surf was today & he said that they had a pit (they got there at 6:00 am to save it.) He said we were welcome to join them...so we are still on for the bonfire!

Besides, we'll get there just in time to watch the birds, dolphins & seals feeding (usually around 5 or 6 pm).

I took these shots at Jalama Beach in the evening (double click to view larger)

Sometimes I guess it's kind of nice to just relax.

Let the Fun Begin

How much can you squeeze into a weekend?

Hmmmm....I'll let you know.

I actually added something else to our day tomorrow. The guys are surfing in the a.m. then we'll head to the Red Bull Flugtag in Long Beach, CA. This is a fun event where people make human powered homemade flying devices & launch them off a 30ft high pier over the Long Beach harbor. It should be pretty funny!

After we'll go back to Huntington Beach for a big family beach bonfire/BBQ.

My hubby wasn't too excited about more things to do tomorrow, but my niece & nephew are only here till Wednesday, so I told him to "suck it up & have some fun!"
