Surf City, USA

Jimmy & I spent a relaxing...wait...I spent a relaxing... weekend in California (while Jimmy was attending a work conference). I laid by the pool for two whole days with my two favorite pool buddies: Jude Deveraux & Judith McNaught-y and managed to actually finish both books!!! Impressive!?!? (Not to worry Mom, I DID take SPF 15...not the 55 that Dr Odell gave me after removing one mole TWO different times...I needed more Vitamin D than the 55 would allow!!!) At night, Jimmy & I ventured into to catch up on our favorite places! Duke's of course - best Calimari IN THE WORLD!!!
And we tried Sugar Shack for breakfast on Sunday Morning but everyone else in HB seemed to have the same plan... so we didn't quite get there!! BUT... we DID happen to see quite a few other very impressive sites:
"Jesus", wearing a robe with a red sash, saving a "damsel" from the "SIN BIN", a Bulldog that could Skateboard (Cutest thing... didn't grab my camera in time, dang it!!!), a long-boarder with 24... count them...24 bottles of Beer on the front while he rode behind them (only crashing once...but at least the bottles seemed to be unharmed - oh, and the boarder too!!!), and last but not least, almost saw a crazy guy hammer a nail into his head!!! I say almost because his spiel became SO long that Jimmy & I walked down the pier toward Ruby's, took some pics, watched the surfers (which J & I will someday learn to do!!), then came back and he STILL hadn't done it...I don't have that kind of patience!!! We also saw the Huntington Beach mascot: A cutie little old "woody" car that is SO Surf City USA. If only it had a Surf Board on top it would have been able to pull off the full Mascot look!!!
All in all, it was a wonderful little get-away that I would so do again in a heartbeat!!
