Fun Day with Friends...

I was up early and after my quiet time, I decided not to run as we were headed to the beach. And sure enough, I did my run at Redondo Beach. It was so nice... I ran faster... smelling the ocean air... 

Friends from Taiwan came over as KR was giving surfing lessons for another friend. It was just so nice to hangout at the beach. 

At 11:30, we packed up and Alan and I headed to Classic Burgers to buy lunch for everyone. The place has changed owners and we noticed that eating out is no longer inexpensive! But it was so great to order a bunch of different combinations and we brought everything back to Annie's and had a feast!

KR went to play pickle ball at 1pm. Zoe and Abby had to go for paddle boarding with Abby's swim friends and we took our friends over to the Condo. We gave them a tour and they decided to chill. Alan went to the pool and I worked on repacking the carry on because they don't have an extra check-in bag. They can only carry it back to Taipei as a carry on, meaning I can only have 7 kilos not 23 kilos... ha, ha, ha... Out came the books and the pickles... ha, ha, ha... I will have to leave more items here! But at least the carry on suitcase will be back in Taiwan!

I went and got Alan out of the pool and we went to Costco. I had a return for Annie and Alan went and bought the items for tonight's dinner!

When we got back to the Condo, everyone was fast asleep! At 4:45, we got everyone up for pickle ball at 5pm. We reserved the court. John, Kathryn and Lucas have never played... so it was a lot of fun to get them on the court. In fact, Lucas tried surfing for the first time and he is a fast learner. He was able to stand up!

For dinner, we had a full table of 12 people! David, Tiffany and Paul drove over from Riverside! John, Kathryn and Lucas stayed. Corinna, Kurtis' girlfriend, also came over... it was just such a fun fabulous evening.
