So I heard on the news maybe last night or the night before, “fritz is coming back with your weather and he said we’ll have to put away those sweaters” which made me think ok, it’s nearly May the heat is going to start coming.
Not what happened, we get a warm day yesterday and then today, hello almost 100 where the heck did you come from all of the sudden. GRRRR I hate the heat. Above 75 and I can’t stand it!
OK venting aside, today seemed like a good day to head to the coast and enjoy some relief. Lori and I loaded into the car and drove towards PCH. It was a nice ride and the coast had a nice refreshing breeze. We drove from Long Beach to Laguna via PCH.
When we landed in Laguna I decided to park at my childhood favorite spot, Divers Cove. It was under construction, well the Heisler Park part was being revamped. So we walked down to the beach and then hopped on the rocks and walked out around the cove. As I stated, this is the spot I used to come to as a kid and I used to play on those rocks, bodyboard and snorkel around the cove.
This also happens to be the spot where I took Lori 4+ years ago to purpose (04/04/04 at 4pm!) So it was nice to visit and remember the moment and also for me to remember my childhood moments as well. We also were able to dream about how fun it would be to bring little Dominic here to play when he gets old enough.
We headed up and took over to the Mexician food place down the way. They were busy but we got in on the patio pretty quickly and had nice lunch. Great chips, salsa and guacamole and we each ordered the Tostadas which were super tasty!
This trip served a few good purposes: getting out while we still can and while Lori is still able to move, reliving our engagement moment, escaping the CRAPPY heat, seeing some nice scenery and allowing me to capture more practice footage with the new camera.
So here’s a clip of some of today’s adventures:
cool shots. now you make me want to get a vid camera.

Thanks Kev,
I noticed the video was looking a bit dull so I went back to the program and noticed I had the color depth set wrong/low for the project. I’ve since re-rendered it and I’m now re-uploading it back to Vimeo so once they are done processing, it should hopefully look better.
The reason why we didn’t find tar is because we avoided going to Long Beach! It’s not the cleanest beach around thanks to the breakwater.

1) I liked the video. Looks like a fun relaxing day.
2) I used to complain about the lack of daylight in the winter. Then I decided, since I couldn’t change it and there must be some good reason it’s that way, that I would just take it and say thank you. I’m much happier in the winter now.
3) Are you gonna post video of Santa Barbara? I hope so!
4) Thanks for being so considerate regarding my sore feet. It was much appreciated.
