Visiting Orange County

We flew down to Long Beach to visit Jonathan's brother David and his wife Angie this last weekend. We spent Saturday at the beach, but forgot the camera. So you will just have to imagine our drive, with the windows down to Laguna Beach and our lunch out on a cliff overlooking the sparkling ocean.
We spent the next couple hours digesting in the sun on the sand. Then we were overwhelmed by about 20 children and their mothers who all decided that they wanted to be right where David was. Jonathan and I watched in amusement as all the moms sat down within inches of David's chair and then proceeded to have the kind of conversations moms who have two or three children under five have: diapers, food, potty training husband's schedules. He was not as amused as we were!
It was also pretty amazing to see how a little moving water and sand will keep anyone under 8 fascinated for hours on end.

Jonathan and David went golfing on Sunday afternoon. Here they are enjoying each other, at least that's what I assume the tongues and smirky smiles mean.





On Monday, Jonathan and I drove up to Biola to visit my dear friend, Dorothy. She and I have known each other since we lived together in high school, but I haven't seen her since before I married Jonathan. Doro and I went out to lunch and got mostly caught up. It was a real blessing to me.

That night Angie had to work late, so the three of us headed out for Malaysian food. It was really good!

It was a great trip, and I'm sad to have left the lovely weather behind!
