There’s something about Eddie saying he’s a nester yet being completely incapable of doing such nesting with any of the women we’ve ever seen him with. Shannon was not only his wife, but Chris’ mother, and yet he didn’t feel ready to let her see their son once she came back… I’d even be willing to say he convinced himself into redoing his life with her because it made sense, and not because he was in love with her (again). Ana, however lovely she was, was also very clearly the product of Eddie putting Chris first. We see this when he has The Conversation with Buck: “Chris loves her”, “is that enough?” and soon we find out it isn’t. “We became a ready made family, and I’m not ready for that”. Finally we have Marisol, who he shoved inside his house only to kick out a few days later. But then… cut to Buck and Chris playing video games together, and doing some sort of scrapbook thing for Christmas, and visiting Santa, and going to the zoo. Cut to Buck picking Chris up from school, and being the first person Chris calls when Eddie breaks down (and goes to when he’s mad at his dad). Cut to homemade meals and difficult talks at any of their kitchens, and carrying each other physically and emotionally through the worse possible times. Cut to “there’s no one I trust with my son more than you,” and “this changes nothing between us.” Yeah,,, Eddie can’t nest with the women we’ve seen him with, because he already nested with Buck.

Things to do in Santa Ana

Things to do in Santa Ana

There are three museums in Santa Ana: the Orange County Zoo, The Bowers Museum, and the Discovery Cube at OC. There is also the Heritage Museum that features Victorian homes with guided tours.

Santa Ana Zoo Visiting the Santa Ana Zoo is a great way to spend time with family and learn about animals. The attraction features over 80 species of animals, including some of the smallest monkeys in the world. 

The Santa Ana Zoo is a great place to visit no matter your age. Adults can enjoy lectures and exhibits while kids have the opportunity to ride their favorite rides, such as mini-train rides, or attend animal shows. Tourists who are not traveling with children will find plenty of entertainment in the park such as carousels, playgrounds, and other exciting activities.

Bowers Museum

The Charles W. Bowers Memorial Museum in Santa Ana, CA was originally opened in 1936 as a city museum that documented the history of Orange County and it was closed by the city for lack of interest in 1987. City officials at that time are willing to reopen the museum only under certain conditions.

In 1992, the Bowers Museum reopened in a 27-times larger space to display 150 exhibits from around the world.

The Bowers Museum expanded in 2007 with the addition of new East-West Bank and Anderson-Hsu Toku Galleries, as well as a spacious auditorium to accommodate large crowds.

Discovery Cube Orange County

The Discovery Science Foundation works to make America scientifically literate by promoting STEM education, healthy lifestyles, and environmental conservation through schools nationwide.

Our schools in Orange County, Los Angeles and Newport Beach are resterant with developing diligent scientists. Such a strong advocate for the power of scientific education, we have succeeded in observing this as a solution to society's challenges.

​

Orange County Museum of Art

The OCMA is dedicated to enriching the lives of a diverse group through modern art, in order to provide an alternative perspective on society.

The Orange County Museum of Art is one of the best museums in Southern California with an excellent collection and many successful educational programs.

Beginning in 1962, 13 women came together to create Newport Harbor Galleries and later OCMA. This collective effort allowed the county of Orange an art venue where more galleries could be created with collections from promising artists.

The OCMA is in the process of a changing evolution. The locations was sold and the OCMA moved its collection to Santa Ana, OCMAPROVE.

Conclusion Santa Ana can be an amazing place for your family to move to. Thinking of buying a new home with a modern touch and classical design? Make sure to check out Venetian plaster in Santa Ana for the best wall finishes!

Male Mallard Duck (Anas platyrhynchos)

taken at the Santa Barbara Zoo in Santa Barbara, California

status: least concern

One of the several mallards spotted wondering throughout the zoo. This male and his female counterpart had decided to take a little swim and get a drink in one of the small ponds near a more park-y area.

These males of this species are notoriously easy to identify with just their iridescent green head and necks and their bright yellow bill.
