Mimosa's & Martini's

Look at the amazing drink I woke up to! A fresh squeezed "Mimosa a la Stephen"!


Whale watching was on the agenda for today but we just couldn't decide what time to go. We headed to the Dana Point Warf w/ the intent to go on the 10am boat. Once we got there we just couldn't resist the urge to shop. Daddy found out about a cute little thrift store right off of PCH in Laguna. We heard that a lot of the locals take some really nice, expensive stuff so we buckled & went shopping. Once there time just got ahead of us & so we decided to skip the noon boat & go to lunch. Our FAVORITE California destination, The Cliffs in Laguna Beach. The view is so great & so are the martinis & buschetta. It's our tradition to go & we ate lunch in the sun w/ the most incredible view in Cali. Not to mention my hot hubby!




So glad we waited & went on the last boat of the day at 2pm. We were the only boat of the day to see a Gray Whale migrating south to Mexico. It was so amazing! She never showed us her tail but she kept coming up out of the water & showing us her entire back. We were only about 30 yards away! It was so cool!



Mike, Natalie & cousins Maria & Tati came out tonight to meet us for Sushi & fun. Everyone had something to celebrate! Natalie is 7 months pregnant w/ their 2nd baby & she looked so cute. Maria signed her final divorce papers that day & she was ready to let loose! Tati was just happy to see us & be on Christmas break from the grind of college. She's going for her Masters in Anthropology now. I'm so proud to call her my cousin. We made a toast to New Beginnings, Happy Endings & Friends! Kendra & Joey were supposed to meet up too but Kendra got super sick! We missed her so much! After dinner we headed to this little Irish pub for karaoke! What a blast! Miss you guys already!
