Winter Escape Ahead

On Wednesday night my friend Elizabeth and I are headed to Santa Monica for a long weekend Girls Getaway from Winter!
We will be staying at the Loew's Santa Monica Beach Hotel. HERE are some views - I am really looking forward to a change of scenery!
Although the hotel is pet friendly we are leaving the husbands, pups, moose and shovels behind (the time will fly by I am sure)!

Among our many planned adventures we have a dinner date on the schedule with my old neighbor Joan!! I am looking forward to seeing her again. Longtime readers will recall she is my lovely former neighbor who moved to Pasadena in June, 2010. I foresee a glass of Champagne in our future!

Have a wonderful trip-you should have some nice weather too. I know you'll have so much fun, especially spending time with Joan. I do miss the ocean but not the fog.
Hugs, Noreen
