Weekend Re~Cap


       On Saturday we went to a restaurant called Schooner or later in Long Beach and this
                                                was our view while we were eating!


       This was my breakfast while at Schooner's...the most amazing Crab Eggs Benedict.
          We also had a grilled banana nut muffin that was so incredible that there
                          was no time to take a photo. That's what I call good.


                                    Enjoyed these spicy and delicious Bloody Mary's


                                      Went to an Angels game and had so much fun.


                                           This is the view from our hotel bar ~ loved it!

              
                                            Hydrangea flowers are my absolute favorite!

    Ah! That looks like the best breakfast I have ever seen. Seriously, ever. And Hydrangeas are my favorite too. I've been meaning to pot some for next to our front door.
