Our 4th of July was pretty laid back this year. In fact, we didn't even leave the house all day. Sure we debated about whether or not we should go out. However, we had been out with J.R.'s family the previous evening and decided to simply stay home. J.R. BBQ some steaks and made a nice meal which we ate in the backyard. While eating, J.R. brought up a subject he has asked many time before.
He said it was such a nice evening we should spend the night in the backyard. I replied, "sure why not?" We set up our tent and got our air-mattress out and slept outside. It was an interesting experience with all the noise from neighbors parties going on.
It was really dark and J.R. was trying to hold his eyes open which is why he has a creepy bug-eyed look.
The next day we met with Pam and drove down to Santa Monica for the day. We had a nice lunch and walked around the beach. Our real purpose was to visit one of Hearst's houses. However, we were a bit disappointed with how little we were actually able to see. It was a nice day.
