Where on the road were we?

Well, in case you didn't notice; things were a bit quiet here over the last couple of days. Cathy has been super busy and as for us; well, we had us a little road trip. Where you might inquire? I'm glad you asked.

We started fairly locally and did almost a repeat staycation from last month.

And enjoyed another meal at what is now a favorite of the Missus.

We enjoy the vibe here…..

Our next stop was for dinner at a new Chinese restaurant that I understand spent 3 million dollars on renovations before recently opening.

Well, to say the decor was impressive is an understatement.

Our next stop was a city in Northern LA County. A charming and friendly city, with a lovely "main street".

The Missus wanted to go hiking in the area to see if the poppies were in bloom. Which was just starting up, so we didn't see much.

Regardless, we really enjoyed the nice 5 1/2 mile hike, which was quite easy. It was so peaceful, we just loved the sounds of the birds chirping and singing…..

The city itself is famous for Aerospace development.

And there's some pretty over-the-top street art as well.

We had two dinners in town.

Perhaps a bit more "fried centric" than we are for these days. But I got to get my fried cheese curd fix in.

Along with some nice brews.

On the return trip we had lunch at an old favorite, which really delivered.

And then dinner at an Omakase only place we'd been wanting to try for a while.

We just returned and am getting things in order.

Thanks for dropping by and my apologies while I try to climb back to reality!
