John and I decided to go on a little spontaneous romantic getaway trip down to SoCal last weekend. We ended up staying at a hotel at Newport Beach, just a mile or so from Fashion Island and the Pier. Thanks to the iPhone, we were able to book it the morning we left. (Gotta love my iPhone!)
We decided to take the scenic route, Highway 1/101, instead of the usual boring I-5. Even though it was an 8-hour drive, instead of the 4 and a half (Sorry, babe), the view was beautiful and long drives with this gentleman is always fun! We stopped by at the Old Mission - San Luis Obispo to pray and also, to pick up some things at the gift shop.
Being the sports enthusiast we both are, of course, we wouldn’t miss the Morales VS. Garcia fight. Even though I hate to admit it, I did feel bad for Morales because he’s way too old to fight a young, hungry fighter - Garcia. Nevertheless, hands down to one of the top fighters in my book because even though he is about 10 years older than Danny Garcia, “El Terrible” gave him one hell of a fight.
The rest of the night was just chill. We wanted a relaxing night out so we went to Yardhouse in Fashion Island for drinks. The next day, we wanted to try Joe’s Crab Shack. It was - OK. I still think Boiling Crab > Joe’s Crab Shack by a long shot! The food was mediocre and a bit overpriced. Then again, maybe it’s just the area.
It was pretty much raining the rest of the day and we spent half the day driving through like 20 different freeways (smh) to get to Porto’s to buy our families a little something. And walked around Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. Great weekend, I must say. We both needed that time together :]
