I’m Back and Ready for Fall !

Hello everybody! Wayne and me had a wonderful 4 days in California! We stayed in a place called Hawaiian Gardens, CA. It is 1 mile from Knott’s Berry Farm and just a few from Disneyland, but we didn’t do either! :)

We asked about a beach and were told about Seal Beach….oh my gosh what an incredible place about 7 miles down the road!

I am not going to bore you with tons of vacation photos but I have to share a few…..ok…more than a few!

This was our room, it was a La Quinta and had been built in December of 2009. It was spotless and fresh and very very nice. Not to mention only 65.00 a night! We were right down the street to just about everything! Next time you go to Southern Cal with the kids, you might think of calling this place.

So, the first night…..

Seal Beach at dusk, we walked down the pier and there was Ruby’s!

we had a great meal, with Kobe hamburgers…

do I look tired? No…not al all! 6 hours in the car was not fun!

These made up for it tho…..:)

the houses that back up to Seal Beach….lucky folks!

The next day we went back down and shopped a little on their Main Street…..and ate at a place called Woody’s.

Fun Bike Shop!

Same houses during the day, you click on any photo to see them larger.

Ruby’s was at the end of this pier.

It was cold! Even the birds were hunkered down….

These wonderful trees were along the house that backed up to the beach, I had to take a few shots of them and the sweet little cottages, probably worth a million or more!

Does anyone know what these are????? The flowers are huge and beautiful!!!!!!

Not remodeled Remodeled

Their own corner store…..

Look at these!!!!!

It was so wonderful, even the “modest” neighborhoods" way away from the beaches were neat as a pin and very well taken care of through most of the cities…..well…this is all for now, I have laundry to do! I just want to remind you to put in a comment at the 1st Anniversary post (http://521lakestreet-sandy.blogspot.com/2010/09/oh-my-gosh.html) I have some wonderful things for my giveaway!!!!
