First, let's clear the dog situation up for everyone. Sadie was released from "doggie hospital" on Saturday and allowed to come home with medicine which we are instructed to wear latex gloves when administering....it's potent. She's doing well and is a completely different dog now.
Our weekend consisted of traveling to CA for Ware Malcomb's Summer Picnic (Jeremy's company). We had a very nice time and found it to be rather relaxing. Instead of staying at the hotel by the airport we stayed at a Bed & Breakfast (B&B) down off the Newport Pier. The photos we've posted are the view from our room, the fish market and one from the beach. Right next to the B&B was a donut shop. We stopped at this place both morning because they were homemade donuts and we all know that the fresh ones rock! We went to the fish market.
The fish market truly was fresh fish every day. The "boats" (by far the smallest on the ocean I've ever seen) would come in starting at 6 AM and continued to until 9 AM. It was priceless, the locals were waiting in line, the place was seriously packed, the entire time. The prices were great! Heck, I'll include a few photos of the market.
Check out the Newport Pier. I've heard of people fishing off a pier but these people were packed in like sardines. It was nuts and very few were catching fish. I'm surprised no one hooked another person. For the people that did catch fish, they were the size of a sardine....that's like a miniature perch.
The picnic was nice and held on Huntington Beach. It's a nice beach but I must admit if you have a choice to go to a beach in CA, MN, KS or FL, I really don't think it matters. A beach is a beach, they all have sand and you end up bringing half of it home without trying because it's stuck to everything. However, when on Huntington Beach you'll notice one view shows a beautiful ocean filled with fishing boats and the other view (behind you) is a oil refinery. Who says you can't go on vacation and gain an education at the same time! Funny though, with CA having an oil refinery I'm surprised they never set up a deal to have cheaper gas.......it was $4.56/gallon....that's regular!
Have a great week
