The adults started their day with breakfast at Ruby's in Laguna Beach. http://www.rubys.com/ Very tasty.
Back at the Villas, Judy rounded up some of us to go to a driving range. Evan, Claire, Kristin, Elly, Greg and I went along. Judy gave some basic instruction then everyone was a pro (I went along just to watch for the most part but Evan let me hit a few golf balls). Luckily, I had camera in hand. After golf we hunted down a milk shake spot - the GPS led us to Fatburger. Were very good milkshakes, onion rings...burgers etc. What a snack! And fun, the place had a free jukebox (CD player - what do you call them these days?) Once back to home base some of us went on to the beach for more water fun. Stacey and Grant made our dinner for us - taco salad - soooo good - with home made guacamole - very, very good - recipes at the end of this post. And for dessert - cupcakes from Sprinkles! So delicious. But I over did on two huge plates of taco salad I really could not eat a cup cake - but I did get a taste of Claire's red velvet and a bite of pumpkin. Very, very yummy. Now Pictures!
