Enjoy the Water, Just Don't Drink It

Spring Break, Part Deux!

Sunday was pretty tame, Shannon and I headed to Hotel Café to see a band, Harper Blynn play that I had met in Boston doing a radio interview. It was really nice to see them again, especially because I love them live! Schuyler Fisk opened for them, so the crowd was mostly women who hadn’t heard of Harper Blynn.

Monday mom and I headed off to Santa Barbara, It’s about an hour and a half to two hour drive. Once we hit the water on the 101 the views were absolutely amazing!

This is Emily, one of the Vineyards friendly cats!

We walked around the town a bit and stayed at a B & B close to the water. I also saw a truck that I completely fell in love with and took like 12 pictures of.

Amazing Truck!

Tuesday we went on a wine tasting tour. four wineries in six hours. Along the way we saw the house that invented Hidden Valley Ranch, AND part of Neverland Ranch. I asked about Oprah’s house in Santa Barbara, but the tour guide told us you can only get a good view of it on the 101, and you can’t really stop on the 101.

Barrels!

Lunch

All in all,it was a fantastic spring break! We drove back home to Los Angeles Wednesday and then I took my mom to LAX. I had Thursday off work, and went in on Friday.

More blogging soon!

Your Tummy On Vacation

Sorry I’ve taken a bit of a blogging hiatus, I’ve been super busy lately and also enjoying my spring break!!!

Where to begin? Well Friday I picked up my mom from the airport and we headed out with Shannon to Mario Batali’s Pizzeria, Mozza. It was so so so delicious, maybe because I was starving. Luckily I stopped myself from devouring everything and took some pictures.

Saturday morning the three of us went out to breakfast at The Griddle Café. It was amazing! I ordered the Red Velvet Pancake with cream cheese frosting, which was basically cake. It was one massive pancake the size of the plate. Shannon got banana pancakes, 3 large pancakes that took over her plate. We had enough food on our table to feed a small country; needless to say, we have leftovers in the fridge.

Our Meal

Later that afternoon we headed over to the Grove and Farmers Market to walk off our breakfast, do some shopping and grab a bite of lunch.

some kind of cheese plate

Saturday was our busiest day; I was invited to a potluck BBQ, so mom and Shannon came along! The BBQ was a welcoming party for Scott Mellis, the artist we went to see at Hotel Café. We forced him into playing a little private show for us and then sang a little backup. It was so much fun we didn’t want to leave.

We ended the night by picking up Elliot from work, heading back to Mozza for another delicious Dinner, and then heading out to do some karaoke.

My Egg potato Pizza!

We met Joe Bastianich, a food network guy, an actress from the TV series Greek, and an MTV Real World cast mate all in one night. Not too bad ehh?

More blogging about spring break tomorrow!
