It’s time for a food and shopping outing, a time to be outdoors and by the ocean. I am also currently making Valentine cards to share with you in my next post. An outing with my food bestie is an energizing break.
I am always ready for a food adventure and shopping is also nice.
Our first stop is the coffee shop to get us going on our way. It is very tempting to also get a snack while there, but we want to be very hungry when we get to the restaurant.
Our shopping adventure begins with visiting multiple outlet stores and taking advantage of the seasonal sales.

We took the scenic route to the restaurant so we had a wonderful view of the ocean. I did not remember to take a picture of it.
Acutally, I almost forgot to take pictures of our food. Thankfully, Victoria reminded me that I wanted the photos for my post. It is easy for me to get caught up in the moment and completely forget to take photos, I think that is a good thing. But, I also like the times that we look back at the photos we took and remember fun times and great foods.
Our meal was brought to us one item at a time so we had plenty of time to enjoy each selection before moving on to the next one.





Time to head for home.
Be sure to take occasional breaks from your routine. Besides providing fond memories, new experiences tend to refresh our minds preparing us for new ideas to use in our projects.
Now, I will get back to creating Valentine cards.
