A Weekend to Chillax
After our trip to Monterey, we wended our way down to Cambria, a sleepy town on the California coast. We checked into the Pelican Cove Inn, a cute little B&B with a huge jacuzzi tub, which we took advantage of. And then proceeded to relax:
And then we took ourselves to a fabulous dinner at Black Cat Bistro, where we ate a golden beet soup, mushroom gnocchi, scallops, pork chops, and a giant berry dessert:
It washed away the memory of the Portola Cafe and Restaurant at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which - and how messed up is this? - is a seafood restaurant!! WTF?! Granted, it's sustainable, blah blah blah, and trust me, I love my seafood/sushi, but I don't want to eat seafood after admiring it all day in an aquarium.
The next morning was beautiful and sunny. We took a long walk along the coast among some beautiful flowers:
I really love this picture. Except for the skin around my armpit, which I think looks kinda floppy. Time to do some bicep curls.
Next we drove down 101 and stopped at the dunes at Pismo Beach:
I just can't help myself. Isn't Kris the hottest?
We ate some super good tacos for lunch in Santa Barbara before getting out of a speeding ticket (with a super-nice cop who looked semi-sheepish, but maybe that was the braces) and arriving in Redondo Beach in time for Easter dinner at my parents'.
