We left home about 11am, after neatly locking the cats into the house. Drove through Jack-in-the Box, ate our sourdough chicken club on the freeway.	temp_leaving_home_2218 600 X 450 48 KB Just for Comparison... temp_leaving_sd_2897 600 X 415 41 KB	On the way, we passed some of the areas that burnt recently. Very sad to see the hills blackened. blackhills_2223 600 X 450 53 KB

We always get the same room #726. We love the view!	coast_balcony_night_july04 3780 X 644 341 KB coast_balcony2_night_july04 4392 X 616 361 KB

We laid by the pool, I swam while Dean shivered, and 4 mai tais later, we headed upstairs. Dean played guitar on the balcony while I took a nap. "thank you, you've been a wonderful parking lot" Around 6:30 pm, we headed down to the lobby bar, to catch the last 1/2 hour of Happy Hour. I had the worst "not-zerella" sticks I have tasted, cold and bland. We sat outside for a little while, enjoying the hotel grounds. It is then, that we decided to go to Disneyland.
