Huntington Beach

The weather's been really warm the past few weeks so we figured it's time for the beach!!! We went to Huntington Beach - which as usual had something going on. It's always busy when we try to go and, of course, neither of us ever check the website. It was a Classic Car Show - which turned out to be really cool. There was a bunch of restored Woodies and Beetles and stuff - it's about as SoCal as you can get.


The water is still too cold to swim (but I always find the water here frigid) but it was gorgeous weather. Afterwards, we went eat at Mrs Knott's Fried Chicken- yum!

Wear Green!

Happy St Pat's Day!

We both worked all day, and then Doug and I went to the Royal Falconer for a pint (of Guinness obviously) to celebrate. At work I had to settle a debate between my manager and her husband: she was convinced my last name was Scottish, he that it was Irish. I had to disappoint my manager - she was NOT happy that the hubby was right!


Cheers!

Merlin's in Riverside!

Doug and I walked into WinCo (like Walmart) and this greeted me:


A whole display of Merlin's Bunnies. I almost screamed with joy.



I promptly bought a White Choc Bunny for Doug (because I think the Easter Bunny will send me one of my very own)!

Last Disneyland Trip (for now)

Our Annual Passes expire on the 10th - so this will be our last trip on these passes. We've decided not to renew immediately - there's no discount and we're both working a lot the next few weeks, and then there's Easter, so why renew if we're not going to use it? We'll probably (hopefully) get passes again in a month or so.

Captain EO just reopened. You remember - we saw it at Epcot at least once. It's a 3-D movie with Michael Jackson. The brought it back asap (once the family and sponsors agreed).It was fun- nothing spectacular. The seats bounced to the music (like when you're in a stadium and people stomp their feet).

The tulips were amazing. All of the little statues around the Hub were very social and wanted to hold the HI AMY sign all by themselves!



I finally dragged Doug up through Tarzan's Treehouse! Hurrah! It's actually very cute.
