Lacey and my lovely Aunt Paula drove down to the land of eternal sunshine for a completely self-indulgent and decadent Memorial Day Weekend (Isn't that what this holiday is about? Oh... wait, it is to remember those that have died in the service of our country?! Weird. Who knew?).
Here is a quick photographic documentation of our marvelous weekend. If it seems as though all we did was eat, it is because that is all we did. We found some filler things to do in between meals, but mostly we just ate our way through all of Southern California.
Lacey and I are madly in love with Wedge Salads these days so we perfected the art of making our own.
We taught Paula in the ways of the Pizookie.
Shopping is so fun when one has no money to spend.
