Making the Most of Our Last Day in Southern Cal.
We were to fly back to DFW today but I planned an itinerary to squeeze in as much as I could before our flight.
The day started out cloudy (again) but warmer than yesterday. We were out of the hotel before 11a and headed on I-5 north towards Irvine, California & Orange County.

Odds and Ends for the day
We slept in (for me until 7am and for Naomi until 10:30 am). Got some laundry done and then we headed out to Long Beach to do some errands.
