Labor Day Weekend 2009: Saturday

I haven't been blogging for a while because my I gave my son my computer until I get him a new one.

Quick Update: My son graduated from Mira Costa High School and turned 18 last month on Aug 3rd. He moved out two weeks later to Pasadena to attend college. He is renting an apartment with 2 other engineering students that are very studious so he is in good hands. My son still does not drive...why...he doesn't want to which is ok with me because he lives 2 blocks from his school and there are lots of stores and restaurants near his home.

So he asked me if he could come home for the weekend. Mostly to cool down...it's been 100+ degrees there and smokey from the fires but...I think he misses home too and our cat Remy. Yesterday, I drove the 405 North to the 105 East to the 110 North and I looked ahead and noticed the Goodyear Blimp traveling up the 110 headed to the USC game opener at the Coliseum against San Jose State (USC killed them).


I managed to catch up with the blimp and pass him so traffic wasn't as bad as I expected...well actually it was in the carpool lane because of all of the people headed to the game but I was solo and was not in the carpool and for the first time I was happy that I wasn't.


After we got home I headed to Fiesta Hermosa www.fiestahermosa.com . We have this fair every Labor Day and Memorial Day. It's a lot of fun. Lots of shopping from clothes, jewelery, art and crafty things which I am not so much into. They also have two stages one near the pier and one in the beer and wine garden. They played music like Janis Joplin, Journey, Heart, Johnny Cash. It was a sunny day but not too hot so it was perfect. We also ran into some friends and hung out and caught up with what was going on in their lives.

We have a BBQ today but we will probably end up in Hermosa on Monday after I take my son back to Pasadena (he has laundry and homework to do :) )
