I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Ours went by in a flash. I don’t know what it is about weekends, but they something to by in the blink of an eye, while the weekdays seem to drag by. If you’re like me and are already planning for the next weekend, you won’t want to miss this Super FUN and FREE event at the Orange County Great park taking place on Saturday, July 14th.

The OC Great Park will be celebrating their anniversary with a full blown party that will be fun for the entire family.There will be live music, aerial performances, military equipment displays, sports activities like a golf tournament so you can put at use your office putting set, gardening and cooking demonstrations, arts programs, great food and children’s activities. The evening will end with a fireworks extravaganza. We plan on attending the celebration and I can’t wait to check out the aerial performers! There will be wing walking and skydiving demonstrations. We can’t wait to check that out!

It’s going to be a great time. Admission to the public is free but parking will be $10. For additional information head here.

I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! We had a great time relaxing and even managed to make it down to Encinitas to check out the SD Botanic Garden. Can’t wait to share about our adventures later on this week. I first wanted to start out the beginning of this week by sharing about this upcoming weekend and actually about an event that takes place every weekend during the summer.

Newport Dunes hosts a free movie on the beach every Friday and Saturday evening for the entire family. Movies start at sunset and you are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs and jackets. Movies start at sunset and there are concessions available for purchase. The movie nights are free but parking is $10. It’s still a super fun evening for the entire family.
