Spring has sprung here in OC!  Unfortunately, that means lots and lots of rain :|

But I'm trying not to let that get me down :)  This weekend my husband and I are meeting a friend in San Francisco and and we intend to eat our way around the city!  :D  I have spent quite a bit of time researching and it looks like we'll be hitting up the Embarcadero ( Read more... )

The rain here has been just awful, so no picture of N. Rip Van Winkle  :P  I hope this rain doesn't pound my new flowers into the ground!!
