Girls Day Out

Today Sally, Lara, and I had a girls day out to Coronado Island. I have been friends with these two since we were twelve years old and met at Foothill Middle School in Walnut Creek, CA. I am so blessed to still be good friends with them, after ALL these years! (And I told them that too. :) And what are the chances that we all ended up in San Diego?! Getting to go to the Hotel Del Coronado for the second time in two weeks is a huge treat. I can't remember the last time that happened. Photobucket Lara and Sally, with the ocean view in the background. Photobucket Long-armed photo of the three of us. Photobucket It was a really gorgeous and clear day. The beach at Coronado is always in one of the "top ten beach" lists, because the sand is so soft, and the beach is super-wide and long. Photobucket Lara & Sally in front of the famed round roof. Photobucket Sally found out that between 4pm and 7pm, it's happy hour at the famed Babcock & Story Bar inside Hotel Del Coronado. So we showed up at 4:02pm, LOL. Photobucket (The waitress took a very dark photo, so this was the best I could do...) We got a Strawberry Lemon Drop, Spa Treatment (the green one), and a Berry Lemonade. Photobucket Very colorful eh? Then we shared fried calamari and crab & cheddar ale fondue. Photobucket Then we stepped out onto the fabulous deck outside by the pool, and I found out the place to stand for the "postcard" shot. Photobucket We didn't eat dinner because we were obviously kinda full already, but we couldn't skip Moo Time when we passed by it, so we each got some ice cream. Photobucket I had so much fun with my long-time friends. And now Lara is moving closer to me! I can't wait to see her more!

  2. What fun! I can't believe y'all have known each other since middle school! And the pictures...love it.

    It is sooo hot here today..101 degrees and humid. The kids went outside early this morning, but we are all camped inside until the early evening...it's even too hot to go to the pool. The dog days of summer in NC..hot, humid, yuck. Not sure why I felt the need to tell you the weather report..maybe so you would feel sorry for us sweaty Southerners ;)

    Have a great day!
