Yesterday around 3:45 PM, all the power in San Diego County (& parts of OC, Mexico and AZ), went out! 5 Million people were without power! As the news people kept saying..."It was Historical". They originally predicted that we wouldn't get power until some time today. So, we got out all our candles and flashlights and got ready for our night. We had so much fun! For dinner, the kids ate all the ice cream we had, because that was just going to go bad. Plus, we BBQ the chicken we had in the freezer, so that it wouldn't go bad. Luckily, I have a gas stove, so that I could make rice and beans to go with it. After dinner, once it was pitch black-everywhere, we used the candles and flashlights while we played board games and read books. My MP3 player was charged and my speakers are battery powered, so we had music too. So, before bed, we grabbed our flashlights and had ourselves a little dance party. SDG&E held a news conference and announced that all county schools would be closed today! Hurray! The power came on some time in the middle of the night and the kids were up around 6:45-so excited that there was no school! POWER OUTAGE DAY! It was such a fun night, I hope we can do that again soon.
