i think we had the evening planned for the past 2+ months
and we were really looking forward to it.
she suggested the family owned and run tapas picasso,
a restaurant in hillcrest she had been too and really liked.
this lady knows great food.
from the moment i walked in, the aroma made my mouth water.
we ordered a glass of wine and 6 different tapas to share,
which included one plate of snails!
i had never tasted them and was excited to try them.
they were delicious {and didn't have a slimy texture like oysters}.

we were having such a great time, we literally closed the restaurant down.
when the owner flipped his open sign to close, we saw that it was past 9:30pm!
we had been there since 6:15pm. {a sign of a great night}
i'm feeling grateful to have such a wonderful friend in my life,
someone who shares similar passions: travel, food, books and being a mom.
i am already looking forward to our next evening out.
~ on the homefront:
c and i put an offer in on two more homes today.
both are in pacific beach, and one just a block away from where we used to live.
we aren't holding our breath as one home already had 5 offers in on it and the other
had just come on the market and will probably get the same.
we should know in a few days.
