2. Orange County Brew Ha Ha

Party it up at this annual event in Orange County. "The key to budget travel is to approach in advance. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our mind. Planning and expending our travel budget wisely is a main concern for most families. Reducing spending and fees, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured success and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding saving money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal funds is incredibly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel bill!..". Sip on custom craft and import beers and enjoy tasty food and live entertainment. A portion of the proceeds go to the Fallen Fire Fighters Relief Fund, a non-profit organization that helps the families of OC fire fighters lost in the line-of-duty.
