So tomorrow The Boston Lady flies back to Orlando leaving behind The Maven and The Sacred Cow. Its been an action-packed, exhausting, exhilirating eight days.
Today we had a Memorial Day picnic in the backyard of The Writer and Sammy's apartment with some of their friends. Sammy will be guest blogging here about this fine feast, so I will focus more on our Sunday here.
We started off the day with a romp at a local dog park so Stanley could get some face to face pooch time..
...and then headed down to Santa Monica. We stopped by by their Farmer's Market and got freshly made and awesome omlettes and pancakes for breakfast.
Which we ate picnic style.
With Stan, of course.
To work off our enormous breakfast The Writer drove us all to Runyon Canyon for a hike.
A beautiful clear day with fabulous views of the city.
It was a warm hike and some of us rested in the shade.
Some of us (okay one of us, ME) were overtaken by their fear of heights during the steep descent and had to be coaxed down.
I would do it everyday if I could. (and then I would get better at the coming back down part)
So, while it's sad to be leaving, it's nice to have Mr. Tennis' and my return here in early August to look forward to. The Maven has a couple of interviews lined up already this week and I hope she has the most wonderful and memorable summer.
In the meantime, I guess I will work on those stair machines a bit more at the gym so I can do Runyon Canyon again.
