Treats

Mid Week Beach

I suddenly had the brilliant idea to go to the beach around noon on Wednesday (for a little break + work retreat). Todd and Immi also thought it was a fabulous plan. With the weekday deal + last minute specials, we got a nice room at a really nice price:) And, when we got there, the receptionist had doubled booked our room accidentally, and we got upgraded to the best room they had with no extra charge!

Isn’t the bathroom vintage cute?

I totally love the bath tub! The shower stall is also a steam room :O The rest of the room is nice too, but bathrooms says a lot about a place doesn’t it?

We do realized we are becoming regulars at the beach. There’s a good reason for this. For one, Immi *loves* the beach. And we actually really really enjoy the drive. It’s just the right length for a good conversation with guarantee that immi & ashland won’t be interrupting us (they are both really good while driving) — it’s perfect for discussing and tossing around few ideas.

Besides, it’s so pretty! …And somehow we are quite sure we won’t like it here at the beach as much in the summer.

Here’s the other halves of all four of us!

Todd is taking lots of photos of starfish that are still stuck to the rock during low tide. I had no idea that starfish were so….chubby!

And we finally found a cafe here that we really really like. When I ordered cinnamon roll for immi, it came out looking like this (it’s pomegranate on top of extra icing)!

Today’s teatime treat. It’s called “jammer” from Grand Central Bakery and is very very tasty. I like that it’s buttery enough for me to not need more butter to spread on:)

My mother-in-law gifted me all these soft fluffy white yarn (and bunch of the hooks in the Jar too!). I have here an opportunity here to make something a bit bigger than a scarf and trying to decide on the best use for them.

It’s really hard for me to believe that it’s been TEN years since it turned 2000! How is that possible? And 10 years is 1/3 of my entire life, and that’s a creepy thought.

I’m kinda glad 2009 is over though, honestly. 2009 was definitely a year full of…well, let me just say that it was an exciting year and leave it at that (sometimes I wish exciting will leave us alone!). Anyway, I think I’m ready for a new start.

So today, I’m grateful for the very first coffee time of the year with my little family in the town that we actually WANT to live in. Here’s inside picture of my half eaten ham & cheese turnover because who doesn’t want to see my half eaten ham & cheese turnover
