Rockford is Colder than Laguna Beach!
As I’m writing, I’m listening to the Phantom Planet sing California!
Yes, taking a week off of vacation has made me quite wise. I can honestly tell you that Rockford, IL is much colder than Laguna Beach, CA!!

This is me along Balboa Island
Shortly after my sister and I arrived in Tucson, we jumped into the car and headed west towards California…Laguna Beach to be exact. Laguna Beach was beautiful. Personally, I liked Newport Beach much better. Once I become rich and famous like my buddy Ryan Seacrest, I might have to make the move.
Dinner the first night took place at the famous and luxurious Knott’s Berry Farm for their world famous chicken dinner.

I did a little research on the cost of living in Laguna. I found a beautiful, two bedroom/two bath condo for just about $900,000! Geez!! My condo isn’t even work 1/4 of that!
The vacation concluded with this beautiful lady picking me up from the airport.

I think I’m the luckiest guy in America!
I was really hoping that the weather would be a little warmer. Next time, I think I might have to visit a little closer to summer. Also, next time I visit, I’m going to give you a call, Ryan and Angie. I wish I would have dropped you a note before I left. I’m sure I’ll be out there again soon.
In case you’re wondering, with a little help from Sarah, the crazy hair is gone.
