I don’t think I could ever get sick of it. It’s amazing. 

Wednesday’s breakfast:

That night we went to John and Kate’s house for a “break the fast” dinner. The spread Kate cooked was fabulous!!

Thursday’s breakfast:

IMG 1025

I took the kids to school, then went to the gym. I made a few things for the tailgate that day. 

Lunch was a messy, quick tuna salad.

Then it was off to the Chargers tailgate! I was in charge of the appetizers. Besides the Loaded Baked Potato Dip, I made Seven Layer Taco Dip and My Favorite Guacamole

Someone else was in charge of the main event which were steak and chicken tacos! Yum!

The game was a success with a win against the Broncos!!

After I picked up the kids from school, I took my son to basketball practice. Afterwards, we left for Orange County for the weekend. Along the way, we stopped at Sonny’s Pizza and Pasta in San Clemente. It was a cute, small Italian restaurant. I was excited to try it.

My meal started off with the house salad which was great!

My husband and I split a veggie pizza:

Eh. It wasn’t the best. Sigh. 

We finally arrived at Pelican Hill Hotel and checked in and went to bed.

Saturday morning we ordered room service for breakfast. I had an egg white omelet with cheddar cheese, spinach, onions and sliced tomatoes on the side.

We spent all day at the pool. It was glorious. 

IMG 1074

I ordered a Cobb salad for lunch, my usual there. 

IMG 1073

For dinner, we went to Taco Rosa. My first impressions weren’t very good. You had to pay for chips and salsa AND they didn’t have guacamole because they were out of avocados. Huh???? There was a grocery store in the same area…...

Anyway, I ordered the shrimp fajitas which turned out to be good.

Breakfast Sunday morning was the same:

IMG 1079

We hung out by the pool for a bit before coming back in to pack up. We ordered delivery from Newport Coast Pizzeria.  I ended up ordering their Sizzling Chicken Salad. It had a choice of three veggies. When it arrived the veggies were all cooked and in with the chicken. No where did it say the veggies would be cooked. Not a fan of slimy, cooked veggies on my salad so out they went.

Their balsamic dressing was good though. 

Then it was off to Disneyland!! We went on a ton of rides before heading to dinner at ESPN Zone. I’m not a fan of that restaurant but it had the shortest wait. 

I ordered the Grilled Salmon which turned out pretty good actually.

Breakfast Monday was some almonds and a bar while walking in the park. Between all the rides, we stopped for lunch at Naples Ristorante in Downtown Disney. I ordered the Contadina Salad (chopped romaine, radicchio, endive, salami, provolone cheese, garbanzo bean, tomato, onion, cucumber, pepperoncini, Italian vinaigrette):

Good salad!!

After a few more rides, we called it quits and drove back to San Diego. We stopped at Firenze for dinner. I had the Grilled Salmon.

Everything is always good at Firenze!

Today’s breakfast:

Kiddos were off school today too. I  went to the gym, then took my daughter to a party. I went over to UTC mall while I waited and had lunch at Tender Greens. 

IMG 1104

Herb Brushed Albacore, Tender Greens salad, roasted tomato soup. Yum!

Later on I took my son to basketball practice. I stopped at Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza for dinner. I had my favorite salad, The Chopped Chicken Salad.

It’s another crazy week ahead! 

What’s your favorite ride at Disneyland?  I love Indian Jones!
