An Orange County Thanksgiving

It’s a little bit strange to be writing a Thanksgiving recap post when you’re in the middle of summer and thinking about buying your flights for your next Thanksgiving. Since I moved to California, I’ve spent every Thanksgiving in Orange County except for my first. This year, Kevin got to join me! It meant that we could rent a car and do a little bit more exploring. I’ve always had family in this area, but my perception of Orange County has been through their eyes. I quite enjoyed venturing out a little bit, but also frequenting some favorite spots like my favorite Vietnamese restaurant and South Coast Plaza.

For the gram, we checked out Noguchi Gardens in the middle of a business complex. It jumped on my radar when I had noticed some wedding photography there and I just had to see it in person. The Anaheim Packing District was also a huge hit for me. Lately, I’ve been a fan of food halls in other cities because you just get to sample so much variety in local flavor.

Removal of Pong Beer

The lovely county of Orange has decided that when underage and overage teens play the game of beer pong,  they become too rowdy. They are so rowdy that it has become a problem for the residents of Huntington Beach who strive to maintain their respectful and positive (non drinking?) image. uhh yeah right

When something like this happens, what does the city council decide to do? BAN BEER PONG! The official ban is as follows:

“The ban affects the downtown Huntington Beach community and puts a stop to all alcohol-based games played in restaurants or other businesses that must apply and a secure an entertainment permit.”

I thought Huntington Beach was known for partying? It’s a beach!

Also tidbit of the day, beer pong is also another name for “beirut.” I like that band.
