Memorial Day 2010

This is our first Memorial Day in Thousand Oaks.  We spent the morning at a memorial ceremony at the Westlake Memorial Cemetery.  We both enjoyed being around a lot of people who were showing their thanks to all the military who have passed before us.  I absolutely loved hearing the band play all the patriotic songs.   That brought both of us nearly to tears.  I am so proud to be an American! I am so grateful for days like these to really help us remember how privileged we are to live here in the United States and to be born into a church who knows God and Jesus Christ.  That is so important to me!

In the afternoon we tried going to the Topanga County Fair. They had lots of bands playing and Ziggy Marley was supposed to be there.  When we got there we found out it was $20 bucks per person which is ridiculous to me. Most fairs are free to get in and then you pay for everything once you get inside.  So we decided not to go, but as we were walking around a bit we saw the most interested people! It was pretty much a Hippie Hangout! Seriously, imagine  40year old women in flowy floral skirts and belly shirts and really long hair....we saw lots of these.  As well as men without shirts on and short shorts. very interesting and probably not a crowd we would have fit into...  So we ended up driving down to the beach, getting lunch at a super yummy Kitchen bakery in Malibu and then we went to find a good spot in the sand to lay out at Zuma beach. While we were sitting in traffic going 5 miles an hour, Jason looks over and the car passing us had Pierce Brosnan driving the car!  We kept looking at the cars passing us to see if we would see any other celebrities and Jason says; "look who it is..." Luke Wilson was driving past us in a Black Camaro.  That was so funny to us to see these celebrities cause we are down there all the time and we NEVER see celebrities.
