It was the best! We ate until we were very nearly stuffed and sick. I forgot my camera in the car so no pictures unless Riley can figure out how to send me the shots I took with his Blackberry. The day turned out beautiful with lots of clouds and blue skies but no rain. We had a table next to a window and we could see the waves crashing on the beach. I finally got really smart and didn't eat bread or drink more than one coke to start so I had lots of room for the five different kinds of sushi, crab cakes, cracked crab legs, jumbo shrimp and finally turkey, dressing and lots of mashed potatoes and gravy. The dessert table was spectacular. Chocolate mousse, pumpkin pie, little chocolate eclairs and finally my favorite, chocolate covered strawberries that looked like little tuxedos. In fact, the chef and the food and beverage manager must have known my weakness and brought me a dozen all boxed up to go. I think Paulette, the hotel manager must have clued them in.
We actually went shopping for a while Friday morning at South Coast Plaza. Didn't buy anything but it was fun wandering around. We're making it really simple this year, gift cards, gift cards , gift cards. We finally made it home in the early afternoon after being stuck in a major traffic jam because of all the cars trying to get to the outlet mall in Cabazon. What a joke!
The tree is up and I'm headed to the garage to get the bows and the tall ladder. New tree and step ladder isn't tall enough. Pictures to come!!!
