Temecula with the Becula (I'm practically Emily Dickinson)







We popped in and out of shops and I found out that Rebbecca has an almost unhealthy obsession with Train sets. Here she is in her FAVORITE shop of the street. It's a train shop.




That's okay, because here's my favorite shop.


Yes, that's right, The Bank of Mexican Food. I think I would like to open an account there in the near future.

After browsing for while, Becca lead us down a side street to go here:



and apparently this was really the main reason we came. Yes, we drove 45 minutes for Nuts. But hey- like the sign says They're the hottest nuts in town.

Here are some more eye candy from trip. I have to say my favorite find of the day is the Loch Nessa Monster Topiary. I think he belongs in my yard (considering I spent the majority of my adolescense being called "Nessie.")













Becca left today and we are bummed. We miss her already. Come back soon, Bec!!

How fun!!! I love the picture of you and your girls on the previous post -so adorable. You are so photogenic, I wish you'd see that!!!

Ah, man! Now I feel all bad that we didn't call and invite you to brunch! It was really last minute and we didn't want the rejection of people telling us that they already had plans and it was only us that were lame and don't have any family or anything going on... You are totally invited next year -ditch your family...

Brandon is thinking that we are going to play the "we just had a baby card" and skip church tomorrow, although I think we ruined our chances of getting away with this as we came to church last week... darn!! I miss everybody though!!

Hope you had a good Christmas.

Old Town Temecula is a favorite spot for us, too. We always go to the soda shop to check for new root beers.

You know you're almost home when you see Temecula!
