I was all set for a fun day of mad skills treasure hunting. Boy was I disappointed. First of all it was a long drive to get there, secondly it was very expensive and most disappointing of all we were done at 9:15 it was that small. I could almost laugh it was that bad.The only fun part was people watching with my daughter. It felt like we were at a concert.Very eclectic group to say the least.<br />I did manage to buy a few things but I won't go back again.<br />We did have fun at Rogers Garden in Newport Beach it is <br />always a treat to see all of the beautiful roses and flowers in bloom.<br />I will save those pictures for my next post.<br /><br />Blessings<br />XXOO<br />Pam
