Friday
We had Chick-Fil-A for dinner. I love this place and
Ely does too. The chicken is very fresh and seasoned well.
Dinner was at a Korean restaurant inside a Japanese grocery store. It wasn't bad but it wasn't the best thing to eat at a Japanese grocery store of all places.
Ely didn't like sleeping in the cage like crib and woke up many times during the night.
Saturday
We met up with our friends Todd, Kristin, & Sophia at Pretend City. There was a long wait b/c it was drizzling outside and people wanted to be indoors.
The kids played and crawled around. It was good to see Sophia. She had grown so much since I last saw her. She even signed to mommy "this big". Afterwards we grabbed lunch at Irvine Spectrum and strollled around the mall. Eventually it started to drizzle and it was time to go say goodbye. Hopefully the Brewers can visit us soon!
We ate the same food again for dinner but at a Korean grocery store this time. It was pretty good.
We got sucked into buying some baked goods because of a long line. we figured that it must be good if the locals were waiting in line. We were right!
Ely did better in the crib this time. We stuck his crib inside the closet and used the doors to block the sides. Ely stood up and played with the clothes in the closet before he went to sleep.
Sunday
We met our friends in Corona. The drive was very nice and the area seemed more green this time because of the rainy season. Our friends reminded us that the traffic is usually horredeous and the it is usually much warmer.
Ely was very happy to find kids around his age and lots of toys to play with. He also saw a cat for the first time. He wasn't sure what to do and the cat actually came up to his face. Ely stook his face to say 'no-no' to the cat as it was trying to smell his face. Apparantly it was he first time the cat came up to a baby but it may have been the cat's first time that a baby didn't try to grab him right away.
Afterwards we went to eat Chinese/Korean food for dinner. It was good and Ely loved the food. He ate until his little belly was nice and round.
Monday
We met up with our friends from Seattle who were also visiting CA. We rode in a very roomy van.
We ate very good Japanese and Korean food - thankfully our friends knew the area very well. We stopped by a Korean home store and scored very good deals on mats for the kitchen.
Tuesday
We went to San Diego Zoo- got free tickets through our friends. :) It was frrreeeezing in San Diego. Ely was bundled up but Sung and I were freezing. Ely liked the giraffe and peacock.
We had awesome dinner at a Korean restaurant in Irvine. I was craving a spicy noodle dish and this place had one of the best one I have had in years.
Wednesday
The boys waited for me patiently (2.5 hours!) while I got my hair done in Garden Grove where there is a large population of Koreans. Afterwards we ate more korean food. Ely loved it too and ate a ton. He loved the barley rice although much of it ended up on his clothes and the floor.
Our flight was at 6 so we drove around and stopped by some stores. The weather was perfect and we talked about moving here one day but reality soon set in. We hope to
be back soon to visit again.
