Hi friends. I was recently on vacation in California and I had the wonderful opportunity to meet with Mary, a blogger!
Mary and I had lunch together at the Cheesecake Factory in Marina Del Rey, California. We sat outside and enjoyed our salads. We had so much fun talking and catching up with each other. This is my first time meeting a blogger and it's the highlight of my 2 1/2 years of blogging. I have been blog friends with Mary and it was so nice to meet her in person. Mary has a lovely blog called My Dogs My Garden and Mary.
I had so much fun with Mary and the lunch went so fast that I wished I had more time to spend with her. I am looking forward to meeting up with her again in the future.
I was given a pretty card and little clay pots to use for napkin rings and handmade napkins made by Mary. I just love the pretty colors of the fabric and they match with my china.
Thanks so much Mary for a nice lunch and I am so glad we had the opportunity to meet with each other. Cheers to blog friends and friendship!
Have you had the opportunity to meet a blog friend?

Hi friends, I had such a good time on vacation in California and while we were there we went shopping. We visited Downtown and 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica and to see the link you can click HERE. Here are a few pictures of the shopping area that my daughter and I visited.
If you are ever in this area you do not want to miss all the outdoor shopping and the streets are closed off from cars. They had really cute topiary's in different shapes of animals in the middle of the street too.
We also visited Universal Studios in Hollywood, California and to see the link you can click HERE. Here are some photos I took while we were there. If you visit you have to go on the Jurassic Park ride where you see life like dinosaurs and parts of the ride you can get splashed with water!
We also got to see the area where they do the show Extra TV with Mario Lopez.
Here in the background you can see where they are applying makeup to Mario Lopez.
We also spent the day at Venice Beach, CA and we also walked the boardwalk too. It was such a nice day at the beach.

California Vacation - Day 2
We had a Korean BBQ dinner late the first night that we arrived in California. It consisted of assorted vegetables, beef and chicken that we had to grill ourselves. It was so much fun and the food was delicious.
On the second day after spending a long day at Disneyland we decided to go to Panera Bread for dinner. I had a mediterranean chicken flatbread sandwich and broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl and they both were good.
My husband, daughter and I spent the day at Disneyland and here are just a few of the pictures I took of our day there. Look I made it into one of the pictures on the bottom left you can see me dunking my feet in the pool. That evening we all spent time in the jacuzzi relaxing and and swimming in the pool and it was so wonderful.

This is a photo of the Haunted Mansion in New Orleans Square. This was a scary tour and ride of a haunted house. My daughter was so scared that she was clinging onto to her dad and we all had fun and a good time on this scary ride.
Here are more pictures of the backyard with all the pretty plants and succulents. I love our friend's outdoor kitchen too!
The house was so beautiful and here is a peek of the inside. Bandit is relaxing on the kitchen counter in the bottom right hand photo.

Hi friends! It feels so good to be back blogging again and I hope you all had a nice weekend. While I was on my blogging break my family and I took a vacation to Los Angeles, California for a week. I have been home now for one week since last Sunday. I'm finally over the jet lag and I even felt it for a few days while I was on vacation. I'd love to share with you my trip.
The day started when we woke up early at 4:00am to get ready for a 7:00am flight to Los Angeles, California. I read magazines and slept a little on the plane. The flight was good but they did not serve any food on our 6 hour flight, only water, tea, coffee or soda. My daughter and I were hungry when we were almost to our destination and we decided to wait to have lunch when we arrived in CA.
Once we arrived in California and left the airport, we got our rental car and decided to have lunch at IN-N-OUT BURGER. Boy am I glad that we waited to have our lunch! It is so amazing!
They have the best burgers and fries! The burgers taste like the ones from Shake Shack and they are so juicy and good and the fries are homemade! You have to try IN-N-OUT BURGER if you are in the area and to see the link click HERE.
We then settled ourselves and relaxed a little at our friends house where we were going to stay for the week. I love our friends house and I felt like I was staying at a spa for the week!
These are photo's of our friends backyard and pool area.
Once we were all settled in we took a walk to Venice Beach, Los Angeles at the canals. The canals are very similar to the ones in Venice, Italy giving this part of Los Angeles it's name. Many people don't even know this part of Venice Beach or of it's existence. It was so pretty and peaceful there. I'm glad I got to see this part of California and take pictures of it.
I love this tree below and a lot of lanterns were hanging in the tree. It looks so unique and I love the way it hangs over the sidewalk and water.
