dana point chili cook off & country jamboree

last weekend my friend and i headed out to dana point for their chili cook off and country jamboree.  i had been searching the internet for fun and free events around orange county to enjoy on my last weekend day off and i was lucky enough to come across the chili cook off!  the free event had beer vendors, food trucks, chili competitors and country bands.  we grabbed some beer, tasted some chili and did our best "judging" of the chili we tried.  we, of course, had our favorites, which really doesn't mean much to the cooks but makes us feel official, ha!  we grabbed a front row seat on our blanket and rocked out to the band, who was super fun and fantastic and sung top 40 country songs.  it was such a great afternoon just hanging out in the sun, drinking some local craft beer and listening to some great country music.  i may have even sung every word to a couple songs at the top of my lungs ;)
