Orange County Daily Photo: The jetty in Dana Point
We spent today in Dana Point. We desperatly wanted to avoid anything shopping related and I certainly didn’t want to post a picture of a mall and all that madness.
That’s my family up there on the jetty. My son, Ben, had a breakthrough today–he was so brave! He climbed on top of the jetty even though he was afraid. Larry kept telling him, “Ben, do it even though you ‘re scared. That’s what bravery is all about.” After he conquered half the jetty, he wanted to climb everything in sight.
Emily would have done more rambling, but her high(ish) heels prevented true real exploration. So instead we wandered barefooted through the tide pools. I will post more pictures tomorrow.
Still taking a break from any real writing on my blog–just enjoying the holiday. Hope you are as well.

Orange County Daily Photo: Surprises
I love a surprise. When I downloaded my pictures I was so happy to see this seagull following my kids as they ran on the beach in Huntington.
That’s all a kid needs–a big beach to explore.
With Christmas hot on my trail, catalogues clogging my mailbox, and commercials for Brats Dolls baffling my sensibilities, it’s good to remember kids really don’t need much to be happy. I wish you could have heard them laughing. We were there for hours.

Today I’m listening to: Three different versions of “I shall be released,” sung by three of my favorite artists: Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, and Jack Johnson. Such a beautiful song.

Orange County Daily Photo: PCH and Main Street
It was blustery and cold down at PCH and Main Street in Huntington Beach yesterday–it finally felt like Fall. This old car pulled in front of me just as I was taking the picture, which made me happy.
Today I am listening to: The Waterboys “The whole of the moon”

Orange County Daily Photo: Old Town Tustin
Just one of the many advantages of having a giant for a dad.
The Vintage Lady is my favorite store on El Camino Real.
Old Town Tustin doesn’t have a lot of draw for me but, there are a few fine places. Rutabegorz, The Acorn Naturalist, and The Vintage Lady are the best spots. The city also made this perfectly square little park (pictured above), which was nice of them.

Orange County Daily Photo: Lookout in Corona del Mar
These lookout binoculars wouldn’t do much good on this foggy morning, but I liked their shouting orange color against the grey.
My kids are home for the next week so I don’t know how much writing I will be able to do.Oh, I wanted to mention I am also writing for my husband’s company blog: The Lounge at Broughton Hospitality. Which is mostly travel-related links, pretty pictures, and company gossip rumors news. So, if you just can’t get enough of my imperious opinion-giving or marginal taste you can visit me there, too.
