Felici Lives Here

Yes I know, the title is a bit contradictory.  How can one be relaxed while being EXTREME at the same time?  What can I say, I love oxymorons!  And this really is the best way to describe my weekend of good friends and good food in Palm Springs. I got together with a few girls from high school, which was a looong time ago, who I haven’t seen in years.  The reason for this sudden get-together in 108 degree dry heat?  We’re all turning 30 this year!!!  Plus, we all needed a break from our hectic schedules to just sit back and do nothing.

The four of us drove up to the Colony Palms Hotel in Palm Springs…it was very cute, quiet, and plush.  Several decadent meals and rays of sunshine later, we were back in San Diego feeling revived and refreshed.  I highly recommend that everyone take a day off to just relax and decompress, it really does wonders!  Just for fun, here are a few photos from the weekend.

Janice’s dog, Mochi!

I took my friend Mignon to Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach, we met this slovenly fellow:

Hungry as usual, here’s me stuffing my face with paella at Costa Brava in Pacific Beach.  This restaurant, btw, is awesome! Food is delicious, hospitality is wonderful, I felt like I flew to Spain for the night!  Thanks for the photo Mignon!

Spanish dancers…love the attitude in her face and posture:

These feet were stomping so fast:

I highly recommend Costa Brava for a great night out.  So that wraps up my weekend of extreme relaxation.  Now it’s back to working out, eating healthy and in moderation, and editing editing editing!!!  I’ll be back soon with photos of our latest engagements and weddings!
