Ojai Birthday

Niner took me to Ojai overnight for my birthday. We had no idea how close it was and what a nice little get-a-way!
We stayed at The Rancho Inn with its cabin-like rooms and relaxing jacuzzi.
We checked out the farmers market where Niner got me my favorite bouquet of flowers.
We shared a bottle of Victoria at lake Casitas which was pretty despite the drought.
Sadly, since the pool at the Rancho, with teepee and all, was shut down, we hung out at the sister hotel's pool at the Capri.
We had a delicious dinner at Azu that evening and roamed around downtown Ojai.
The next day we biked the long trail behind the hotel that stretched out for most of the town. 
We then managed to head back to the pool for a bit then had brunch at Suzanne's. They had a lovely rose garden at their back patio.
So exciting to have such a nice little trip so close to home. Surprised it's taken us this long to see Ojai!
Another amazing year around the sun!

Spring Training

My little family went on vacation this past weekend. Nacho visited his friends at Petsmart and Niner and I went to our third Spring Training in Phoenix. Our first game on Saturday was against the Indians at Goodyear Ballpark. There was a lot of action near the end when the Indians caught up and tied the game. There was a Mister Softee soft serve truck and Niner tried a Guinness Blondie at the beer cart. That is a nice ballpark and we had a cute time. I even got Ethier's autograph on our Cactus League ball.    We had time for a nice hike and dinner after the game. Niner introduced me to Native American fry bread which was delicious. Sunday we started off with a nice brunch at Province downtown. The game was at the Dodgers' (and white Sox) Camelback Ranch. It was a hot, sunny day, but fun nevertheless. It was lovely to get away for the weekend and we did so much! Can't wait for baseball season to start! We got a mini season plan t...

La Banquise, Montreal

La Banquise Rating: 💜💜💜 📍994 Rue Rachel E Montréal, QC H2J 2J3 Canada 📞  (514) 525-2415 Visit: May 6, 2018 Poutine is pretty much anywhere and everywhere in Montreal. Sometimes when you have too many options, it becomes difficult to make decisions (at least that's how it works with me). We chose this place because of the amount of reviews on Yelp.. and it was only A-OK. However, that may be our fault for ordering the "plainer" option. The grand size of "Taquise" seemed like the perfect choice for us. It was topped with tomatoes, guacamole, and sour cream. We probably should have ordered something with lots of meat and gravy, something packed with flavor. But then, I can also argue that anything with guacamole should be amazing. So I give this place a 3/5 rating, but it is worth going back to, especially since they're open 24/7! Make sure you use your google translate and get in the correct line: dine in or take out. There's a line of peop...
