Well within the next week we will be lucky enough to go back to school, hopefully. The first day will be the 27 of Aug but will not know about our grants and loans till the following Friday. We were able to go and have some fun in California. We started by going to the




Huntington Gardens in S. Pasadena which was a lot of fun and 100% relaxing. To be able to enjoy all the different beauties of the green earth..........At the garden there was also a couple of museums that we were able to go to and learn more about our forefathers that settled this country.

We then went to Dodger stadium to watch as the D-Backs and Dodgers fought for firstplace in their division. For what it was it was not all too exciting until in the 8th inning the D-backs put in Clark their best first baseman. He got up to the plate and slammed a home run right down the third base line leading the D-Backs to victory.

We got up early the next day to go down to Redondo Beach and relaxed the day away on the sand and yes, I ,Nic did play a little in the waves.

We spent the last two days of our vacation at Disneyland and going to the Jay Leno show. While at Disneyland we had the park hopper which allowed us to go back and forth to Disneyland and Ccalifornia Adventure. Our favorite ride of the day had to be Hollywood Tower of Terror, it looked pretty whimpy but surprised both of us when it pretty much threw both of us up out of our seats. ( it was FUN!!!!!!!!!!). Other rides we enjoyed were Soarin Over California, Indiana Jones, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates only to name a few. The day was fun filled to say the least.
