A three hour trip... ♫♬♪♫
The Queen Mary
Long Beach Harbor was fun.
But the best part was meeting another blogger -
I loved every minute of our visit.
She is witty, inspirational, and kind!
Who knew that blogging would open up such a delightful new world!?
My mother once lived in Long Beach -
I felt a real connection to her here.
She loved flowers so much!
Monster LowCarb Energy drink w/protein
Two of these a day seems to suit my needs
Eggs, Spam & Cheese Scramble
(Don't laugh - it's good!)
Atkins bar
Coffee w/ hot chocolate
Water, water, everywhere.
There's a surprising amount of minutia and planning
that goes in to making a vacation...
I guess it's like anything else - it's all in the planning.
Wish you were here!
Bougainvillea everywhere!
ReplyDeletePoppies everywhere!
More flora than I've ever seen in "real life."
And the gracious Joanna knew the names of all of them.
Anne, I love seeing all the beautiful flowers, food and just everything you are viewing on your vacation. Now is the Queen Mary haunted, always wanted to know that.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you met up with a blogging friend, so many are doing that now.
Enjoy your weekend.......:-) Hugs

Once again you have captured so much of nature's beauty. Glad you are having fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI can tell by the wonderful photos you are enjoying your vacation to the max. I know about the traffic out there, I grew up out there and after moving to a few other states went back there. I make Spam and egg scramble with lots of onions. How are you on onions?
ReplyDeleteSpam? LOL I didn't know people actually ate that. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pictures. What a beautiful place. Looks like you are having a wonderful time. Such a memorable vacation!
Lovely!
