Let the Relaxing Begin

Nate and I arrived at the Terranea Resort at midnight last night and are getting into the groove of some serious relaxing. And while we feel we won the lottery with our hotel, its location and our room...we realize now that we had an epic fail in the common sense department.

Sure, it is snowing in Minneapolis right now but you would think we would realize that the sun in CA is still quite warm and strong. Emphasis on the strong. Apparently it was actually over 90 degrees today. Typically a person would maybe put on a dab of sunscreen before laying in the sun for 3 hours. Nah....not us. We are both like lobsters...just on the front side. Back side is still a nice pasty MN white.


Anyway, day 1 of the Anniversary escape has been great. With our little travel deal we get a spa credit each day so I got a pedicure today and it was heavenly.

We drove to Hermosa Beach for dinner and ended up forgoing the nicer tapas restaurant for Los Muchachos--a hole in the wall authentic Mexican restaurant that is very Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, or at least I thought so. They brought out a fountain soda bigger than my thigh, fried tortillas and amazing salsa. And then they brought out our food.....ahhhhh so good.



Dad--I think you should move the pumpkin cartel to Los Angeles...check out these prices!!!
