Girls Getaway Weekend continues! Let's take a break for lunch! The entrance to the restaurant we dined at
Crystal's "Raw" lunch. Oh drool, drool!

The up the street

The orange building is the "Raw" restaurant we lunched at.

Our view from our lunch

Keeping with my fast: All natural, plucked from nature and put on my plate foods. The soup constitutes a "clear liquid" with natural, plucked from nature and could be put right into my mouth food. Oh, but God is Good!!!

The Girls!

It's good to be me and take my lunch out on the patio!

And a few more

More of Santa Barbara A nice shot of the design in the courtyard
Grrrr!!! Girl Power! What road trip would be complete without a fake tattoo?
Well, are you having fun yet? We sure are! More pictures to come!

Mermaid Sighting!

Mirror, mirror, on the stand, who's the fairest in the land?

Mermaid Diary! Oh to be 8 years old again!
Mermaid doll

I wasn't sure what they were, but they were metal and beautiful. I think they should have been Japanese Mermaids

Mermaids for the wall

More wall art

If I had a daughter, this towel would have come home with me. Since I don't, it stayed there in the shop.

Mermaid statue.

Another mermaid towel. Way cute!!!

And the real mermaid!

You just can't see my fins!

Taking time to stop and smell the roses

Girls getaway weekend continues!!!! Don't the girls look lovely? And the rose below, well, yes, it actually is a rose!
Looked to me like a chyrsanthemum or dahlia, but it was a rose!

A Crystal tucked amongst the roses

Stamen, momma!

Ah, it sure is nice to be able to take some time to stop and smell the roses!

The rose above was so intoxicating! I wish you could have been able to experience the tangy aroma.

Yup, there I am! Having a blast on our girls getaway weekend. More pics to follow!
