Day 10 - August 2006 vacation

Predictably unpredictable. Another phrase I like to use to describe Carolyn. With everyone having left the resort except for my sister and her family, I really expected we would use our last full day in recovering from all the sea, sun, sand, and squalling kids. We'd maybe take some of the leftover food to one or more of the Long Beach and pack up the rest so that it would be easier to transport back to Sacramento. We'd walk around the resort or take one more swim or walk around the Fashion Island shops. Then on Sunday, we'd get up relatively early and head out, stopping at a nice breakfast place on the way.

Didn't turn out that way. Once we got packing, we kept packing. Once we had the car packed, we headed to Long Beach to drop off some food and pick up Jenny. Because of some miserable traffic in Orange County we didn't get to Long Beach as early as we hoped and therefore left later than planned. The net result was getting into Sacramento so late we had just enough time to unload the car, unpack the suitcases and put things into the fridge that couldn't wait until morning. It also meant that Sunday will be a total washout.

We were glad everyone put forth the extra effort to meet us in Newport Coast. We had a good time and hope others did, too. I think even the little ones had a lot of fun.
