Yerbabuena in Madrid

Last I left off, we were enjoying some down time back at the hotel. Madrid isn’t that big – we ran into Ethel and Alene as they returned from Toledo.  This gave us some time to plan out our evening. We decided to meet for drinks at an Irish pub my dad had been eyeing the entire vacation called Ulysses. Standard. After a round of beer (and some salty nuts) we said goodbye to Ethel (who left us for a hot date) and we walked around the corner to a vegan friendly restaurant called Yerbabuena…. Read more >

Birthday Blog Takeover #6

Missed the previous guest posts? Check ‘em out…Kyle, Mom, Marie, In-Laws, Ethel This next one is from my bestie Alene.  If you read my blog with any frequency, then she really doesn’t need an introduction.  Enjoy! A Birthday Tribute to E Elise and I have known each other for most of our lives.  We were in kindergarten together, and that’s about the earliest memory in my mind, so to me, that’s pretty much the beginning.  So we’ve known each other from the beginning.  And we started with one big commonality – we both have weird… Read more >

17th St. Cafe & Bakery

(Based on the name of this post) you can probably guess where I went to dinner over the weekend… 17th Street Cafe & Bakery!  It’s on Montana Ave (and 17th Street – duh) and has been on my to-try list ever since we moved to Santa Monica.  I live a few blocks away, so there’s really no reason why I haven’t yet been. Last week Alene emailed saying she had a groupon for the restaurant that was about to expire.  There’s nothing like a coupon for food to get a group of friends together (add… Read more >

Practice for the Amazing Race

When I told my mom about our 2nd day in Paris, she was literally cracking up.  How could you not?  It’s pure ridiculousness.  Just wait and see… [Laura captures the sentiments of the day in one photo] Allow me to preface this with some background deets.  After a generous amount of research Laura and I had determined the two day museum pass was definitely the most cost effective option for Paris sight-seeing.  It was 35 Euro and included nearly everything we wanted to do, including admission to the Palace in Versailles.  Seeing as Laura and… Read more >

Fromage & fourchette (or how to make the French hate you)

After our picnic by the Eiffel Tower, we geared up for a post-lunch workout.  And by that I mean a session on France’s most scenic stairmaster.  The line to walk is way shorter than the line to go up by lift, plus, the stairs weren’t all that bad!  We learned interesting facts at each level, a new addition to the climb, which Laura and I appreciated since I accidentally grabbed the informational brochure in Greek/Italian. Seriously, I couldn’t have picked a worse one to try and decipher.  I told Laura it was practice for the… Read more >
