Aliso is too quiet.

We were getting ready to head down to Orange County for brunch this morning when one of the guys called and asked us if we wanted to spend the night with them since we have a bbq down there tomorrow. Normally we would say no but the hazy smoke here is making both of us feel bad so we packed overnight bags and headed out.

The sky down here is so clear and blue away from the LA pollution and the wild fires in Ventura. We both feel better. 

I know for a fact my dad is probably having a party at our apartment while we're gone! He loves having it to himself to have friends over for sports, pizza, and beer. My husband told him it's fine and he hopes he has a nice night.

This house we are staying at! It is so nice. My husband said you can afford it this nice when it's so far away from any business center or freeway. It's so quiet out here that we are kind of freaked out! He loves it though. He says it is perfect for babies. I keep waiting for sirens, helicopters, usual LA noise. 

We're a few miles in from the Ocean, Laguna Beach. One of the guys told us that used to be a very gay city but now it's mostly gone. The guys we are staying with are married and older and have two little kids who are both very sweet and friendly. The husband has been all about them. They played, wrestled, built a lego contraption, etc...

Now the guys are putting them to bed so we took a break to hang out in the room where we're staying. The house is huge! It's two levels and this guest room is off by itself with a nice sized bathroom and a window overlooking the hillside behind them.

We thought about playing around, but I think that's kind of disrespectful in someone else's home. He seems to think it is ok. We're going to hang out with them more before bedtime and then we'll see what happens.
