A lot of people like the desert and a hot, dry climate.
But it's tough to keep them there after they've seen
Huntington Beach. So it was for the Delany-Beane
Family: Mom Lisa, Dad Don, daughter Ashley, and son
Ryan. After several years in Arizona, they traded sand
for surf and have been in HB for 11 years.
Don is a safety
director for an underground pipeline company. Lisa works
in a medical office. Ashley, a graduate of CSU Long
Beach, currently works in day care in Huntington Harbour, and Ryan is a political science major at UC Irvine.
Both Ashley and Ryan are Huntington Beach High School
grads.
Don, who had previously
lived in Huntington Beach, was a surfer in earlier
days. These days the family likes to hang out at the
beach, ride their bikes there, and walk on the pier.
Some of the attractions in HB that they especially enjoy
are Tuesdays on Main St. for Surf City Nights, the 4th
of July parade, and shopping at Five Points and Bella
Terra. They are also involved in their church.
The Delany-Beane Family
is very typical of Huntington Beach families, enjoying
the great attractions and activities HB has to offer,
from Downtown all the way up to Bella Terra.
