It was Sunday morning in Orange County, so we joined the natives and did a shopping excursion before starting the trip to the beach. On the way to our first stop, we passed the In-and-Out Burger
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190001
and experimented with pictures through our neighbors window
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190002
as well as our own.
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190003
Had we known that this was Gregory's favorite restaurant, we would have gotten a few to go and Fed Ex'ed them to him. But, these were all travel details as we headed to the Wherehouse store,
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190004
where Eli
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190005
stood ready to help us spend Jane's gift certificate. She was faced with a choice between these 2 Limp Bizkit CD's
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190006
and we hope that she made the right choice. Coming out of the store, we took the obligatory phone booth picture
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190007
and then parked next to this license plate frame
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190008
on this car
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190009
for Lucy's collection of pictures of Jeep Wrangler's. Once inside, Larry gave Benjamin a golf lesson
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190010
and when he wasn't happy with the resulting shot,
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190011
he gave him another.
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190012
I brought my bathing suit to this woman Velma
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190013
who was happy to check me out. Our next stop was Fry's
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190014
where we met this man in the checkout and discussed PC's to purchase.
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190015
We wish him well in learning from his 6 year old son. We were cautioned
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190016
and so recorded our receipt
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190017
before destroying it. After experimenting with pictures of people in motion,
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190018
we decided that it was safe to take pictures of this pro-Hoffa bumper sticker
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190019
and this Get In, Sit Down, Hold On & Shut Up
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190020
license plate frame.
After all of this activity, it was time to drive to the beach. This is the scene we saw
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190021
after we parked the car.
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190022
Suzanne was happy at the beach
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190023
even when she pulled up the boogie board
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190024
Benjamin waited for the right wave
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190025
and then rode it
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190026
and rode it
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190027
and rode it
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190028
until he reached the shore.
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190029
Behind us was this ominous looking power plant
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190030
but this just reminded us that we were in California. The lifeguard
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190031
was doing his job as Benjamin and Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190032
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190033
and then Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190034
posed for pictures. Meanwhile back at the towels, Sarah
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190035
and Jane
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190036
were reading as our neighbors
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190037
were eating some very good looking nachos and this billboard
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190038
was flying over head. Benjamin had a great hole to show us
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190039
and then we left to see this great bench
../../../Sabbat/08.19.01HuntingtonBeach//P8190040
on the way home.
