California and back again...

So Stephanie got the idea when we were talking to Joe from Harvey's at Barrett Jackson that we should go to CA for one of their release parties. We already had some plans for this weekend but we figured we could do it if we went down Saturday and came back Saturday. So to get to Santa Ana by the start we decided we needed to leave about 2 am. This meant John and I got up about 1:15. It was not pretty.

The trip was a good time though. We got there about 8. We found a little cafe to eat at and then went and got in line. It was their Spring limited release so we had the chance to get one of the 250 purses they make. We got to check out the store and hang around for some of their giveaways. We met Dana and Melanie Harvey as well as saw Joe again (Joe's like the VP or something).

Melanie recommended a restaurant for us to have lunch at and then we headed back! We had decided to stop at some outlet stores on the way back, along with gas, food, etc. We made it home about 10 or so that night. So it was a very long day, but as I said we had a good time. We figured it was a good practice for how we'll do on the cruise.

Taken about 430 AM. No clue where we were, but I woke up to make sure Bart wasn't falling asleep.

We were trying to figure out what all the green with roads were. We decided it was probably a field and unlike AZ not everything green is a golf course.

Again, not sure where we were but we kept thinking it was smog, but there was definitely fog.

Here we are in line! We thought CA was supposed to be warmer....

One of the new bags I got. Not a limited one, but probably my favorite color they have!

As we headed out of town there was quite a bit of traffic.

We love these windmills.

Bart wanted a picture of this...I'm not sure why except that it looked really cool with the sun setting.

This is us being artistic. The Harvey's or Bust was on the back window, but we would see it in the rearview mirror.
