In the end of April, Virginia of Birmingham Alabama Daily Photo fame came to Southern California to visit for a few days and had a whirlwind tour of some of the hottest spots in SoCal!!! We started at the Huntington Library where Virginia got to show us all up with her outstanding shots of the gardens,here, and our group, here and here...
Soooo, not to be out done by Ms. V, I got a couple of shots of Ms Laurie (Glimpses of South Pasadena Daily City Blog) and Raine, the recent birthday girl...
the group with the decent docent of Altadena Hiker fame, Karin Bugge...
and a quick capture of Petrea, of Pasadena Daily Photo fame...
hugs for Mama Laurie and kidlet Raine...
and our fine feathered friend by the pond at the Huntington...
on a quick walk to the tea room for high tea...
Petrea, Virginia and Judy, Virginia's hostess with the mostest!!!
Ms Tash of Palos Verdes Daily Photo had her camera to her eye as often as Ms V!!!
and did you really think anyone in this group would not have a camera???
Mr. Earl...basking in the delight of being in the company of all these crazy women!!!
On our way out of the gardens...Virginia had to get in just one more shot!!!
Then on to:
Dinner at Bistro de La Gare in So Pas
Lunch the next day at Villa Sorriso in Pasadena Norte...
A walk around Ambassador College grounds...
Kaldi's in South Pasadena...
And the bistro at Casa de Chieftess in Glendale...
