LA County Fair

This past Sunday, Jon and I made our first adventure to the LA County Fair. One of our customers, David from Executive Gift Baskets, volunteers with Habitat for Humanity. Every year, Habitat for Humanity builds houses on the fairgrounds for families that can't afford their own home. David, along with probably hundreds of other volunteers, worked together to build these homes from scratch. Jon and I went to check out what they have built. It was an amazing project for a great cause.

Friday Afternoon Hike

The weather has been so nice lately, we're finally past the summer heat waves and enjoying the cool fall air. We'll see how long that lasts! This Friday, we got off work a little early and picked up our nephews (and their dog) for a hike. We did a little hike out from their backyard up into Oneill Park. This is a picture from the top of our hike with Saddleback in the background. The boys did great and we look forward to more hikes in the future.

A Beautiful Wedding

Over the weekend, my sister got married. It was an amazing weekend! We stayed at the Inn at Perry Cabin in St. Michaels, Maryland. We went sailing on a 50 year old skipjack. We explored the town and nearby towns by foot and bike. And we enjoyed some amazing food and fun with family and friends. We wish you the best, Shannon and Thys, in your new marriage! Congrats!
