california adventures

with family in town of course a little jaunt to california was in order. as always we've been enjoying some good eats and boutique shopping at some of our favorite places. if your in the newport or the san juan capristrano area definitely try these out:

sidecar doughnuts

heritage

the ramos house cafe

and dining at the house is always lovely al fresco. one of my favorite spots at the beach is our little back patio for dining by candlelight. a chill in the air, good conversation, scrumptious food and a visit from Laurie always make for the perfect visit.

do you have any favorite southern california spots to eat or shop? we'd love to hear about them! cheers to the weather getting better in phoenix...slowly but surely right?
