The 4th of July

For this year’s 4th of July, just like last year, we headed down to Dana Point with the Marquis. The fireworks show was amazing. It had some really beautiful fireworks, and I was definitely surprised that it was just a city, free fireworks show.  I don’t really like fireworks, and think they’re pretty boring. There. I hope I made my point about how awesome the show was.

I love the 4th of July.  It really makes you think to yourself how lucky we are, but mostly it was nice to just hang with friends, eat some very yummy steaks, and stay up late talking.  For me that’s what the 4th of July has always been about.

Every time we go to Dana Point I’m reminded of how much I love the ocean (we never seem to make it to the beach living downtown).   One day I hope to have a home that has a view of the ocean, and hopefully is as close as the Marquis’ townhouse!  Maybe I’ll buy a house on Molokai next to my parents. Sure Ryan and I still rent, but who say’s that’s stopping us from owning a vacation home! Although, I think if we bought a house in Hawaii, Ryan would want one on Kauai… problem is beach front/ocean view is definitely A LOT more expensive there.  Ironically, being so close to the beach we actually never made it there. We spent the day at the pool. Or to be more accurate, I spent the day at the pool, and Ryan got his Tennis game on.
What’s that you say? You recognize the glasses from Akihabara? Yep, those are the same ones he bought in Japan. Since buying those green glasses in Japan, Ryan really hasn’t taken them off!

After getting ourselves drunk on meat (I think Ryan ate 3 T-bones!), we had a rousing game of Guesstures. As you can see, from the boys enthusiasm, they won – twice… After two games of Guesstures we were a bit whacked, and had the whole “if 3 atomic bombs hit California, what would you do.” Never mind that if 3 atomic bombs actually hit, we wouldn’t be alive.
