Huntington Sand

"Have you been to California

Seen the sights and people there
Walked the streets of sleepy sea towns

Tasted salty ocean air"

A couple days of sun, your toes buried in the sand while listening to crashing waves can be the best therapy. And don't forget the delicious seafood. I am a sucker when it comes to fresh fish and sushi is just heavenly. If I moved somewhere for food, it would be near the coast to be closer to the fish! There was sun, but a storm off the coast of New Zealand caused a chilly wind at our beach. To walk out on the pier I had to add a few layers.

Little Bit of Road

For our anniversary we decided to take a little road trip. 
We both love traveling, but knew we didn't have time to go far. 
Destination: Huntington Beach, CA with a few stops along the way.

Little bit of junk food for the road

VALENCIA:

Adrenaline-Six Flags, Magic Mountain

 

Wait time for rides - five minutes or less to sit front row

Basically walk on, ride, scream, repeat

No lines meant no recovery time in between

In 30 minutes we road the new "Green Lantern" and "BATMAN" at least two times each

So... happy with no lines...ride after ride after ride after ride... oh my head, is it still attached?           

Click here to have the Green Lantern Experience

We refueled and were ready to go

10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. non stop roller coasters

We ended up riding all the big coasters multiple times

We screamed (well I screamed) and laughed all over the park. Sunny weather, no crowds and my best friend. 
Such a perfect day... until "Déjá Vu"

Conversation getting off ride Déjá Vu:

Boy: "Dad, do you have your cell phone?"

Dad: "Yeah, why?"

Boy: "I saw one go flying."

Rippling through the crowd: "Did you see that phone?"

Emily: "Dal, you have your phone?"

Dalin: "Yeah" reaches for his pocket, discovers it's empty...

Sad to say his phone took flight while we were being thrown around on the ride. We waited til the park closed so they could look for it. Luckily they found his phone, well the pieces of what once was a phone. If you try to contact him and he replies with the old excuse, "who are you, my phone broke?" this is proof it really did.

The second - 3rd

To my love...

The happiest and biggest decision ever to make

Who will hold my heart forever?

Two years ago I handed it to you

knowing without a doubt you'd keep it safe

Searching through my dreams

I looked for you until you came true

I love you
