Central Coast Eateries...

I've been to some really fun restaurants/coffee places lately. Here are two of the restaurants:

My parents & I went to Steamers to celebrate finally being in our new house! We got there a little too late for a great view (it was pretty dark), but we still had a fabulous time. The food was amazing! Most memorable for me was probably the creme brule! It reminded us all of Dukes in Huntington Beach. I would definitely recommend it!

Some friends & I went to Spyglass the other night. It was also delicious. It's a little more relaxed than Steamers, but still has good food & a great view! We even got free dessert! I took my delicious flourless chocolate cake home :)

Move Update...

We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. These past 2 weeks have been absolutely insane. We've moved most everything from the old house to the new house (with some amazing helpers!), went to see Garrison Keillor in Cerritos, shopped till we dropped for new home things (we had to go down to SoCal because the shopping is so much better! We hit Anthro, Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, Z Gallerie, Target...), started setting up the new place, painted, installed fans/Internet/phones, and today we had a giant garage sale!

We didn't really expect to sell that much, but we probably sold about 90% of what we put out. We were obviously ecstatic. We also had a lot of fun just visiting & meeting people. People from this area really just love to chat & share their life stories. We learned more than we ever cared to know about strangers all day, but it was honestly really fun! We decided to take the afternoon off from all the work (we are so sore!), so we went to SLO, ate Chipotle & enjoyed the gorgeous weather. We are in the home stretch though... Can't wait till we are fully moved in & can put down roots. So far we are all in love with our new house (and all of our neighbors are fabulous!).
