California Dreaming

Returned from California, got an ear infection & strep throat (apparently they’re not just for kids!) and then immersed myself in digging out of the inevitable backlog at work. All that stress has made the vacation seem like it was months, not days, ago.  Was vacation really worth it?  Hmm… these pictures would tell me “yes!”

{Hubs & the girls having fun at Newport Beach}

{Radiator Springs in Pixar’s Cars Land at Disney’s California Adventure, it was so cool looking!}

{noodle & tempura bar in a Japanese market in Irvine}

{somebody liked the soba noodles!}

{Trying on lots of Maje at South Coast Plaza, shopping mecca}

{found this bakery with a rainbow assortment of macarons…}

{finally tried an Umami Burger – the Port & Stilton. Did I mention I’m done cleansing? Might be due for another one soon at this rate!}

{Soaked in the green, the warm sun, & playing with the kids at the parks}

Such a beautiful part of the country. We’re lucky to have family out there so we can visit every year. At least this bit of sunshine and 70-degree weather can tide us over ’til spring finally appears in Minnesota…maybe in May??
