Summer - July, 2004

Irvine trip

We decided at the last minute to take a road trip to L.A. with our friends (Doan, Tuan, Duy, Thuy, Maily and Tuan and of course their kids). 

This is barely two weeks after returning from our European vacation. 

On monday, we sent Kevin, Vu and Alex by plane to L.A. to meet with their cousins from Arizona and their cousins from L.A.

By the end of the week-end some of us flew to L.A. and some of us drove down for more partying...

The kids swimming at Doan's friend house in Irvine.  This house is a vacation house and is totally vacant year round..

We got to use it exclusively during our stay.  hippie!!!
