Each year we enjoy going to the Civil War Days @ the Huntington Beach Park. It's entertaining and educational...and a beautiful setting! After last year's trip, we were looking up other ones and stumbled across the website for the one in Moorpark, CA. As we were looking @ the pictures, I recognized someone! What? Could it be? A former Marine Corps Bandsman that was leading a Civil War Era band and doing reenactments! How FUN! We found each other on Facebook and on Saturday had a reunion 14 years in the making! It was GREAT! We look forward to heading down to San Diego @ the end of October to go camping with the Hernandez family as well as going on the "Ghost Tour" that our friend is also a part of...he's a ghost that got hanged! Oooooh.....creepy! :-) Should be a LOT of fun! Here are some fun shots from the CWD @ HB!
