Our girls weekend was perfect!  A great get-away for us busy girls!  We landed in LAX and my sister Jodi picked us up.  She was moving that weekend so she didn't have much time to spend with us.  After we arrived at her house in Redondo Beach, we grabbed a bit to eat a Chili's and we were on our way to the Marriott in Long Beach.  It was a beautiful hotel--indoor and outdoor pool, hot tub and palm trees (I miss those).  We spent a little time in the hot tub and finally crashed.

Saturday and Sunday we spent riding around at the beach with the top down (Jodi let us take her convertible), walking down the beach feeling the warmth of the sand and the freezing cold water, getting pedicures, ridding beach cruisers to the Queen Mary (we didn't tour it since we will be on a cruise ship in a few weeks--we already knew what they looked like) shopping down at the Alley in downtown LA and introducing Heather to LA hotdogs!  (YUM).  We tried a sushi bar and an Italian Restaurant which were both delicious!

Monday morning we got up early to catch our flight back to reality--well for a few more weeks when we get to sail out of Puerto Rico on our Southern Caribbean cruise.
