For springbreak this year since my husband at BYU still had school (neener neener)my mom and i flew to California for the day to spend a great day in the sun relaxing and then watch the Bachelor season finale. Oh how excited we were! So off we went :) we arrived in Long Beach Cali and went to drop our stuff off at the hotel. After a great breakfast at an Irish pub restaurant (don't worry, no hard liquor for us)we grabbed some beach chairs and took them to mcDonald's. It was great and we had a blast laughing at ourselves hauling these chairs up the street in all the little stores walking to the beach. ha :)
The beach was JUST what we needed. We had gotten some very amazing treats to eat: a 15000 calorie 7-layer bar and a sushine frosted sugar cookie... probably not the best for our amazing physiques (spelling?) but man were they delicious and SO worth it. It was freezing on the beach! we talked about how funny it is that you can totally tell who the tourists are becuase they are the ones in swimsuits shivering while the true Californians are cozily bundled up and in head-to-toe wetsuits if they even decide on even getting in the water.
After we were burnt to a red crisp we walked to the edge of the pier to an old fashioned diner called Ruby's. We chose to get a peanut butter cup shake.... modeled below ;) and i got a terryaki pineapple aloha burger. AH it was lovely :))
Although, the company was much better :)
To finish a wonderful time in Cali, we watched the Bachelor finale and had a blast laughing, crying and giggling at the show we have loved to watch together. I had a wonderful time with a wonderful woman that will always be my example and friend. :) love you mamma mia!
p.s. we were told that the pier is 1.7 miles! we must have walked at least 5 or so miles that day JUST on the pier! haha which we figured was ok with all the calories we consumed this trip ;)
