Um, just for monkey wrenching sake ... since most of LoT is going to USH, can that be our April Swanking ... with HG moved to May, where we currently are absent a swanking?

Sweetheart, since I don't think you are going to stop trying to change things until you get your way on at least one, I'm going to say you can change whatever you want to here. Plan away.;)

Damn! I am off that day, but I have a Wedding to go to :(

Well, I've been trying to come up with May swanking ideas, but so far nada. Maybe we could do the fake Mexican holiday thingie the night of the 5th? It falls on a Friday!

Isn't there a LoT birthday on that day?

I was actually thinking it might be fun to check out the Puka bar that's just opened down the street from our house. Maybe have Hawaiian BBQ and watch some Tiki-tyle film then walk over to the Puka Bar for drinks.

^ That sounds fun. Can that be May, and we'll leave the lovely Huntington for April?

That's fine with me.

I think the Gardens would be prettier in April - and not as hot.

Yes, quite agree. April gardens will be lovely. Oooh, I haven't been to the Huntington in years and years. I'm excited.

Hmmm, but what is it they say about April showers and May flowers?

It was never applicable to the west coast ... but recent weather patterns are making me think twice about that.
