The past four or five weeks have been a little crazy by our standards... There have been wedding decisions and preparations to be made. And, for the past two weeks, Margaret has gone from retired to "semi-semi-retired", back to teaching at the stable a few days each week while Katie has been away at horse shows. (And boy, it felt great!)
We were due for a break! Some months ago Larry had gone on-line to check out local activities; we had filed away several possibilities in our memory banks. Friday was such a lovely day that we decided to investigate the Irvine Regional Park. As we drove through the gate into this 160 acre county operated facility, we learned that the park had celebrated its centennial ten years ago. Having no idea just how immense an area it is, we were surprised to see multiple playground areas, numerous pic-nic spaces, complete with grills, and a train running throughout the grounds! There is a rental horse stable and pony rides for the little ones, plus tandem bicycle rentals available. What an incredible place to take a family! For the two of us, it was just a great mind-clearing, fresh air-breathing, sun-warming way to spend an afternoon.
