The most wonderful day of my life.

Waking up at Great Grandma Viv's was so refreshing. We get our workout gear back on and head to Corrine's favorite beach, Hendry's for a morning stroll. To try to explain in words this place is probably impossible. This beach was so beautiful I had several spiritual moments. It was secluded and on the cliffs. Unfortunately we found a dead, washed ashore dolphin and seal but on the upside we had several great photo shoots.

After our exhilarating walk, it is time for some brunch. We choose the Boathouse restaurant that was located outside on the beach. It actually was our only option. Corrine and I order a Chardonnay and Rachel enjoys a bloody. I guess not eating all day and waiting about an hour for our brunch got me a little intoxicated. This is when I had my first euphoric experience of the trip. I was so happy I could have died right there.

We pile back into the Benz that Grandma Marilyn let us borrow and head to the promenade for a shopping trip. Everything was way out of our price range so we settle for a Starbucks and head back to Vivs. Marilyn made us appointments at Saks to get our makeup done because that is what they do in Santa Barbara. Corrine gets a Chanel makeover. Rachel chose Trish McCoy and I got Bobbi Brown. After spending way too much money on purchasing the makeup we head out to dinner. The spot was Kai, sushi obviously. We order a bottle of wine to accompany our meal. It turned out being complimentary as the asian gentlemen sitting at the next table picked that up. "Cheers Gentlemen!"

Walking down the street I spot a gorgeous dress in a shop window called Area. We are a little apprehensive because of the prices but we soon find out that Area is specifically within our price area. We go on a crazy shopping spree. I get the dress I spotted in the window and Corrine wears an outfit out of the store. We then choose a mexican place to have our next cocktail. Shots of Patron were on the agenda.

We then hop to Malloy's where we meet a bunch of surfers and tons of eligible bachelors. They served their drinks in goblets. Rachel decided we should be adventurous and walk out on the tab. We do and run to the bar next door where we all partake in the most intense dance off I have ever been a part of. The bartender from the previous bar where we walked out on the tab finds us and we think we are in trouble. It turns out he is just taking a break and having a drink himself.
