It's a hoot!

I'm on an owl kick. Truth be told, I have been for a while now. I'm not talking about "owl overload" here (It's not like I want everything I wear, accessorize or decorate with to be owl) but I do scan through Etsy.com on occasion actively seeking out new owl merchandise. It's become somewhat of hobby (I definitely do not purchase all the stuff I find, that would for sure be owl overload) but it's fun to browse. Anyway, I've gotten the idea from some other blogs I follow to feature certain ideas or tips from week to week. So, I figured I would share my favorite owl finds every now and then, starting now. You may not enjoy this as much as I will :)

March Madness

It turns out March has been just about as busy as February...

I turned 25+1 on March 5th and my mom flew out for the weekend as a surprise. We ate at the Sycamore Inn, which was built in like 1914, for my birthday dinner. We didn't quite realize it was going to be as expensive as it was, but it's one of those places that are fun to go to like once a year :)

Corey surprised me by taking me to Coronado Island for a night's stay in the Hotel Del Coronado! My freshman year of college I visited San Diego with my sister for Spring Break and Coronado Island quickly became my favorite place in California. When we moved out here I immediately began pestering Corey to stay in the Del. These are just a few highlights from our wonderful getaway (there's more on facebook).
Coronado Island is in the bottom left corner (the bridge to the right is the only way to get on the Island from San Diego). The big red roof on the Island is the Del :)

The March excitement continued when my sister and her family came out for a visit :) We had a wonderful venture to the Pacific Aquarium in Long Beach, hunted down a Merry-go-round for Maggie to ride a "horse" and ate way too much :)

I thought I had more pictures of Kenny :( I realized I took several on my phone that turned out too dark, but do not mistake his lack of pictures as Corey and I not loving him as much as Mags :) He's an amazingly sweet little guy who loves everyone, even me :) Oh, and I think seahorses are way cool, that's why there's a featured pic of one :)
