California is pretty much awesome. If it wasn't so expensive, I might seriously consider living here. Because honestly, I'm not a fan of winter, and I love sun. And the beach. And things that are green (minus envy).
This morning K and I went to Beach Combers, a restaurant on the beach. It was super hazy, but the temperature was pretty much divine. The french toast was unlike any I'd ever had, and it ranked right up there with the french toast at the First light cafe in Cincinnati (which was pretty darn awesome).
I played some more Order Up - a game for the Wii that's hard to find, but was rated one of the top games of 08. I've officially worked at 5 different restaurants in 2 days, and the first 4 are 5 star restaurants. Now if only I enjoyed cooking that much in real life....
After K was done some stuff at work, we took the dog for a walk by the bay. We decided it would be a splendid idea to take the same trail as the super experienced looking person in front of us (super experienced meaning she was a runner, and looked like she knew where she was going). So we followed her.
Well, K is preggo, which (besides having a baby in a few months) pretty much means she's not as spry as she once was and hopefully will be again someday. The lady quickly was out of our sight, leaving us to venture into the wilderness on our own. And it was very wildernessy. We climbed down and down, up a little, down some more, and then saw some delightful white birds (which we declared in all our expertise to be egrits). Well, since said birds were so delightful, we wanted a closer look and found, to our disappointment, that the trail that led closest to them was very very very muddy. And K's dog is, well, half white. Before we realized just how muddy it was, K's dog was less white, though not terribly so.
Well, we took a different route. At this point, the path was very narrow, and lots of stiff grass lined both sides of it. I, in my ignorance of the terrain previous to departure from K's abode, wore shorts and flip flops. So as the path narrowed, we tried to take a detour up a few different paths. Unfortunately, earlier in the day, we had been discussing things like tarantulas and trap-door spiders and other various creepy crawlies. After testing a variety of paths, we decided on the one that took us slightly out of our way, but seemed the mostly candidate for the vermin-free award.
We succeeded.
And then we went to dinner.
