I'm just about ready to post my vacation recap but am waiting on a couple of pictures from friends.....hopefully this will keep you entertained in the meantime!
A few weeks ago the in-laws came over for a visit. There were no specific plans for the day other than having lunch somewhere fun and making a stop at one of our fav places to shop - Nordstrom Rack. We didn't really have any ideas for lunch but once Saturday rolled around and it was gorgeous, I knew just where to go!

Whenever friends and family visit from out of town my first choice for dining is Claire's at the Museum. This cute little cafe is part of the Long Beach Museum of Art and sits on a bluff overlooking the Long Beach harbor. I love nothing more than sitting at the cafe enjoying good company and spectacular views.
My seared ahi salad and the hubs California turkey sandwich
View to the West - Port of Los Angeles and Rancho Palos Verdes
View to the South - Catalina
View to the East - sailboat race
We had a wonderful time at the cafe. I'm pretty sure we were there for a couple of hours enjoying the sights and the warm sunshine. There was a wedding taking place at the museum that day so that was fun to watch as well.
A couple of tips for dining at Claire's: reservations are recommended and plan to arrive early as there is isn't much parking available. Also, don't let a cool day stop you from heading to the cafe - they provide blankets to keep you nice and cozy.
