I have the whole week of Thanksgiving off from work, so what a great way to start the week by spending it with great friends. Ken and Lisa invited us to their boat for two days of friends, food, fun, biking and talking and in Lisa's words Chill-axing. The weather has cooled off, with rain forecasted in the next couple of days. The clouds provided many great photos but in the end we arrived home before the rain.
We took off for dinner and site seeing on our bikes, this is a great bike path (it went most of the way to the shops) it's been way too long since I've been on a bike, I need to bike more often it felt great.
Before he fixed his pant leg that he had rolled up so that it wouldn't get caught in the spokes. We rode our bikes to the shops on 2nd street in Long Beach. This pic was typical, there seemed to be some sort of coffee shop every few stores. We stopped at "Taco Surf" for dinner and were going to stop at "Sweet Jill's" for dessert, but were too full.
Lisa posed for me Monday evening when we where walking the shops on 2nd Ave. I couldn't resist the sky, so I added Lisa, and voila a nice picture (no photo shop here).
I saw this restaurant featured in "Diners, Dives, and Drive-Ins" located in San Pedro so off we went for breakfast. It says diner, but the place looked like a dive, but the food was home cooked and great. All the food this week-end was a stretching excercise for our Thanksgiving meal coming up.
Warming up in the sun at the back of the boat after a cool morning.
Taken on the side of Ken and Lisa's boat "Bella" isn't she pretty. Getting ready for our bike ride.
We went for another bike ride today, look to the left of the photo, this is where Ken's boat is and where we started out. On the right is the Queen Mary which was one of the stops of our bike ride. As you can tell there wasn't a direct route, so away we went. The weather and sky couldn't have been more beautiful!!
On one of our stops to enjoy the scenery.
This is a wave--water fountain. It was very cool.
This is out in front of the Aquarium in Long Beach. I have to say it again--What a wonderful two days!

Is this the life I have to look forward to after the kids are gone?
I am very jealous at the moment. Looks like a lot of fun.
Looks like a fun couple of days! Great pics... - Heidi
Great pictures. We had a blast. I don't know what it is but when we are with the two of you we always find the best food. The good news is we already know where we are going to eat next time. It sounds like everything revolves around the food but at least we attempt to work it off on the bikes. Thanks for being the best friends.
That looks awesome! We went to Gaffey street diner before we left on our cruise and the food was amazing.
mmmmmm nothing better than lots of good food. it all sounds fabulous.
LOVE ya.
