Sailing

As if the Blues Festival and a California sunset wasn't enough? Today we drove to Long Beach and went Sailing on a 34 foot Sloop. Which apparently is the BMW of Sail boats. Our good friend Bill invited us to sail today. Josh had not sailed before and I have with my good friend Mariah's family and in Colorado. So, I knew I would need to help out. I have never sailed on the ocean so I was pretty nervous, so the following pictures of me are intense concentration, not me being mad. Josh was thrilled and happy as could be. Bill was a great teacher. He said I was a natural which made me feel good. Josh and Bill did pretty much all the work and the day was great. I took pictures of seals too, those will come later. So enjoy a few pics.
Oh and then we went out to dinner with our landlords to the Masala Bowl which we love. It was great company and a nice ending to our day.

Doheny Blues Festival

A while ago Josh asked me if I'd want to go to the Blues Festival that his co-worker was going to be playing and I said sure. Weeks went by and kind of forgot about it. So, this morning we had to get to Target to find lawn chairs and hats and get to Dana Point by noon when Mike played. We made it at 11:50pm parked for free and took a shuttle to the beach. I took pictures of the Festival and some of the bands. It was a great day and laid back. We used 45 sun block and our hats were helpful. We got to see Elnora and Sumthin' Cookin' for the second time, the Robert Cray Band, Pinetop Perkins JJ Grey & MOFRO.
After the festival we wanted to see the sunset. Josh and I saw his co-workers and they suggested Crystal Cove or just beyond. So we drove down the Pacific Coast Highway to Corona Del Mar where we walked down to the beach, let the waves hit our feet and watched families have fun. We watched the sunset and walked back to our car. Great day we had.
