Back in California

One of the things I love about California is the variety of food that they have there. You can easily find different cultures food and they are delicious. I am always looking forward to eating all types of food when visiting California!

We stayed at my best friend's house and they made us delicious steak. It was so good!


I love cherries and all types of berries because eating them makes me merry :) This was a fruit stand in San Francisco and I just couldn't resist it.


I am excited to share with you a picture of my adventurous husband eating a craw fish. Yes, it is a craw fish that's he putting in his mouth :) however, the craw fish is not to be eaten like that. For your information, craw fish taste just like lobsters and you eat it like eating a lobster. You break out the tail, peel it and eat the little tiny meat from the tail but it's all about the sauce that makes it good :) Dare to try some?

Our California trip last month was busy but very fun. Our family took a short vacation after the fashion show and we went to L.A. to go to Disney Land - it's the most fun place! I miss California!

Summer Fun

Bonjour! Summer is here in Minnesota and I've been having some fun with husband and friends and working on some stuff. I've been...

Up north to a friend's cabin by a lake. We had a nice relaxing time.

The backdrop of these photos is the color of the cabin - the name of the cabin is Big Green. Guess why? :)

Oh and because it was so hot and humid in Minnesota it fogged up our camera and that's why this photo is so foggy. Who says Minnesota is only cold? :P


We had bonfire for a couple of nights. Husband making smores in this photos. It was really fun with the friends but not with our mosquito friends...I have so many bites from them. Even though we bundled up like my husband did in this picture...they still managed to get through our clothes and to our skin...ahh.

We did a little birthday celebration for the man :)

And we went on a date today. We had dinner at Ruby Tuesday and watched a movie. This was my yummy meal, classic burger with sweet potato fries and grilled zucchini...Mmmm.

Have a wonderful weekend!

XOXO,
Athena

Saturday in San Francisco

I was finally able to visit China Town in San Francisco over the past weekend. My very first time being there was when I was about 5 and haven't been there since. I had a nice time... I was able to embrace the nice architecture as well as the beautiful string instruments that were played by these super cute Chinese elders. They happened to be filming the movie "5 Year Engagement" while we were there so it made it even more exciting!
