Girls' Weekend....

What a wonderful weekend I had with my mom and two sisters, Krissy and Sarah! They flew in to San Diego on Friday afternoon and we started out with a late lunch at Point Lomas Seafood...with some incredible crab sandwiches...to die for!!! Then on to mom's place and with a late lunch, we didn't need dinner, but of course, some snacks and drinks...a great evening of just catching up and enjoying our time together!

Saturday found us headed to the beach to start for a walk...oh, the sunshine and blue skies were wonderful!! Krissy and Sarah, from Spokane, were so happy to have it above 30 degrees and NO snow!!! The beach was a bit windy, but so nice. From there, we headed to the Flowers Fields in Carlsbad which is incredible...besides the great location and warm temperatures the beautiful Ranunculus flower is amazing! Coming from the Pacific Northwest with the tulips...I wasn't sure about this, but it was beautiful and the different flower was a real treat...and of course, I took a few (well, maybe more!!) photos of them!! The weather was great, a bit windy, but comfortable temperatures and fun to stroll around and enjoy the beauty and spring treasures!! A bit of shopping, margaritas, nachos, some more shopping, some wine and a late dinner...made for a great day...which went way to quickly!


Okay, so we indulged in an amazing strawberry shortcake before heading into view the flowers...it was wonderful...just don't have strawberries like that in the our area!!!


























Sunday they had to head home...but we had an incredible brunch before at the Canyon Restaurant at the Crossing Restaurant before taking them to the airport...so sad to see them leave...it wasn't enough time!!! :~( Next year will have to be longer and we'll plan a summer gathering...and even include the guys this time!) After some errands on the way back from the airport, my mom and I went for a walk in the SUNSHINE!!! It was about 80 degrees (ahhhhhhh!!!!) and a light breeze...oh, I will hate to leave this behind! A wonderful weekend...and I'll be sorry to leave tomorrow, but happy to be home and with Rick...and see Jayden on Tuesday...oh, I've really missed her!!! Rick got to see her this weekend and got some good hugs from her...I'm ready for some of those...have certainly missed those!!!!

Back home tomorrow and then will dive into some remodeling...we're having the kitchen redone - starting this week, so the next month will be a mess, but rewarding in the end! Hope you all are doing well, and able to enjoy a bit of spring weather as well. I hear that it'll be nice when I get home - I sure hope so, at least for a day or two!!! I'll be happy to be home, but will really miss my mom...it's been wonderful to spend time with her...
