Abbie

Abbie, like Admiral, also had the opportunity to spend a few days on the West Coast last week. However, while Admiral was checking out the local museums, Abbie was checking out the local treats. First on her agenda: a frozen yogurt tour of Southern California. Stop number one was Cherry on Top. She loved that the yogurt was self serve, as she could try little bits of the many flavors, something she took full advantage of, indulging in chocolate, cookies and cream, coffee, cake batter and peanut butter (perhaps having more than a little bit of the latter).


As tasty as Cherry on Top’s yogurt was, she preferred the less sweet frozen yogurt at Golden Spoon, stop number two. She sampled the pistachio and cake batter, which were ever so tasty, but ultimately went with the peanut butter, which Abbie thinks might be as good as the peanut butter frozen yogurt back home at Thomas Sweet.


After all of the frozen treats Abbie decided to diversify her indulgences, and stopped by the San Marino restaurant/gourmet market Julienne. She had a hard time deciding between the different edible treats and wines, but eventually made up her mind, and picked up some goodies to share with her new special friend, Cal.


Although Abbie had never thought of herself as a summer fling kind of girl, she couldn’t resist Cal’s charms, and spent much of the trip with him, lounging lazily by the pool (and occasionally sneaking off to a shaded private spot under the palm trees).
