After a few chilly weeks in Southern California (chilly by our wimpy standards at least), the sun finally came out in full force this weekend and we were treated to lovely temps in the 70s.  The Englishman and I took advantage of this lovely weather and enjoyed time outside, as well as lots of delicious eats.

It’s weekends like this that remind me that spring is right around the corner which means back on daylight savings time, more flip flop wearing, and a half marathon race on May 5 (eek!).

Weekend highlights include:

Kitty shenanigans with Pip.

Finally trying Sidecar Doughnuts.  They are set to open a storefront in Costa Mesa very soon, and I highly recommend checking them out.

Spending time at the flea market – where you can find just about anything.

Brunch at one of my favorites, Haute Cakes Caffe.

New running shoes for aforementioned half marathon.

Homemade Sweet Potato and Turkey Pie (recipe coming soon)

Goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow.
