Livin' the H.B. Life

Ryan and I had a mini vacation a few weeks ago out to the river and that was really nice a relaxing. However, just this past weekend I had been telling Ryan how it had been several weeks since we both had a day off to spend together... He reminded me that we had just spent a few days at the river! Funny how soon we forget...

SO, I got off work a little early on Friday so we went and played Tennis at the community college. Lucky for us the other courts were young girls who were each playing with one of their parents. We didn't feel too dumb when we whacked balls into their courts... We went home and had dinner but decided it was too early to call it a night. We went down to the pier and walked out to Ruby's, on the end, to get a shake. It was a nice cool night. It is always fun to see who/what is downtown... My favorite was a sleeping duck - standing up! He looked like a penguin! We got so close I was tempted to push it or poke it to make sure it was real and not dead! I've only seen ducks sleep while they sit...

Saturday we slept in and it was so nice. Thanks to our new black-out curtains we both can sleep past 7am! After a lazy morning we went out to Huntington Harbor and kayaked! We enjoyed seeing the amazing homes in the harbor and some really cool birds! At one house there were 2 dogs playing in the water. We were worried for a minute because there wasn't anyone around and we wondered how they were going to get out of the water. Much to our surprise, they had their own ramp to get out of the water on!

We stayed out for about 90 minutes. We grabbed some food for lunch and then headed out to the beach for some surfing! YES, I did surf. I may have only caught one wave, but I did surf. Ryan, of course, surfed for an hour and caught nearly every wave that appeared... Surprisingly the water was fairly warm and that helped to get me in the water.

After that we cleaned up and went to dinner at the Lone Star and out to a movie with Ryan's parents. We had such a great Fri/Sat. weekend! (Good thing because Ryan had to work Sunday and Monday and now he is sick)

We love living in HB! Come visit us whenever you want!
