4th of July

The 4th of July was an amazing weekend! The city of La Mirada puts on this amazing day at the park. Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't make it until after...just enough time to see the fireworks. Our friends Kelly, Albert and their little girl Lilly met us there. But let me tell you that parking is terrible. I don’t think that I had ever seen such an event. We set up our blankets on the grass and laid down looking up! The fireworks were great.

Jason has this brilliant idea to take the boat out. We launched out of Long Beach...which was disgusting...there was so much debris in the water. The water was terrible. It was so choppy. We wanted to go down to Dana Point and grab lunch then head back up to Long Beach. But we didn't make it that far. Try Huntington Harbor. It was still pretty great though checking out the amazing homes there and their boats. Then we went to Shoreline Village and dock the boat to walk around. Finally it was just about dusk and all the boats were headed back to the water. Some pretty big boats were out too! The fireworks started and they were amazing! The show lasted so long... check out some photos from the day and night
