California

So Kris has a conference in CA so we decided to make it a mini vacation. We flew out of Indy to Denver yesterday, had a two hour lay over, grabbed a bite to eat, and then on to Orange County. The airport was easy to maneuver, grabbed our bags, rental car (new Pontiac G6), and jumped on the highway. We were warned about how Californians drive and they were right, it was like we were in a race :-)

We arrived at our hotel, smelled the most beautiful flowers that are everywhere, admired these huge purple trees, and watched the Disney fireworks at 9:30 (12:30 our normal time) from our balcony and went to bed. We got up this morning at 6, cruised around to find a place to eat. Since Kris had to get to his conference and it needed to be a little fast, we decided on Carl Jr's/Green Burrito, which is the west's version of Hardee's/Red Burrito. It is pretty much the same except they put guacamole on some of their burgers and the ham is really thick for the breakfast sandwiches. We dropped by the Big K to grab some snacks for the hotel and Kris walked to his conference b/c we can also see the conference center from our balcony too. I sat by the pool to get some much needed sun, read a book, put my feet in the pool, walked around, and I may take a nap before Kris gets back at 4. We are going to out to eat with a friend from Indy that use to live here and he may take us to the beach, I'm looking forward to it.

The pictures are of course of our room. We will take many more and post them later.
