During one of Sister K's visit some time last year, we randomly Googled Lulu's Creperie Cafe and decided to try it out for breakfast one weekend. Lulu's is located in Laguna Hills in a strip mall but it is a mom and pop restaurant with a lot of charm. Perhaps I should have ordered a crepe dish to offer a better review of this place but at last I hadn't. We love to try new restaurants and love that this place was a little bit of France in Laguna Hills. Qui qui!
Complimentary basket of breakfast muffins to go along with that basket of jams and jelly.
These were served warm but they were just okay. I don't really remember anything extraordinary about them.
Sister K ordered a savory mushroom and spinach crepe.
I ordered what I always order...two eggs over medium with dry toasted English muffin and a side of fruit. So exciting right?

Buccaneer Beach Club - Oceanside, CA
If you ever find yourself in Oceanside and are looking for some breakfast, might I suggest the Buccaneer Beach Club. I'm not recommending this place because I like it but more because there aren't really that many places to find breakfast in these parts. The food here is okay but even I could cook better than the stuff they make and did last year because I didn't want to eat here. I'm just sayin'. You might like it but I didn't.
It's a little building off the side of the road with a couple of tables in front for sit down eating. I guess one would mainly come here to get food out of convenience and not so much because the food is anything amazing.
Breakfast Burrito - this was decent but it is pretty hard to mess up a breakfast burrito.
Bucc Muff - breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg and cheese - this was not so good.
The coffee was hot!
French toast with a side of sausage - this was also not very good.

The Foods of Knott's Berry Farm
Ahh theme parks...the crowds, the lines, the noise, the achy feet, the germs and let's not forget the food. Okay maybe I am being too harsh. The food is actually the only thing that keeps me from undoing the seat harness on the roller coaster mid way around the loop. I know, what a drama queen. The food at Knott's is a mix bag...meaning a mix of good and bad. Mostly I did not like much of it but then again it is a theme park after all.
Giant inflated Snooping! GIANT!
Shortly after arriving at Knott's I was already hungry because I had ran 10 miles that morning. I remembered the smell of BBQ near the entrance of the park. I got this Teriyaki Grilled Chicken Sandwich. There were so many things wrong with this sandwich. For starters it was drowning in very salty sauce. The chicken was okay but the potato bread bun was crumbly and fell apart upon taking my first bite. Basically this sandwich was terrible at best. I ended up eating the chicken and piece of pineapple and tossed the rest.
Sister K order the Pulled Pork Sandwich topped with some fried onions. I had a bite and it was decent. She also skipped eating the bun.
And because lunch was not so good, I continue to search for more theme park "delights".
I think this is my first Funnel Cake ever! I know, can you believe that. It was pretty tasty! I hear that Knott's make one of the best ones. Yum!
Yum yum!!
My honey also got some Cherry Icee. Don't have a photo of that unfortunately.
This sign is pretty weird and creepy sounding.
We had a little side mission at Knott's. To find Knott's dip seasoning powder. A couple of years ago, one of Sister S and the B-I-L's friend gave her a couple of packets of dip seasoning powder from Knott's which makes some really tasty dip and she was running out. So we were on a mission. We asked around and was directed to this place, Sticks and Stones, but obviously that person did not know what they were talking about because all they sold in there were things made of sticks and stones. I know, can you imagine? The girl at the register however did manage to direct us to the General Store and we ended up finding it there. Success! The holiday dip is safe once again!
We had heard so many good things about Mrs. Knott's Chicken Restaurant so it was a no-brainer where we wanted to go for dinner. Unfortunately everyone else at the park had the same idea. There was an hour long wait to get a table.
We ended up going elsewhere for dinner but before we left we just had to get a couple of pieces to try.
The To-Go line was much more reasonable.
The chicken was delicious! The seasoning was spot on. I definitely need to come back another time to have a nice sit down meal inside the restaurant. Most definitely!
There is a bakery and gift shop connected to the Chicken To-Go place so I got a slice of Carrot Cake to go and it was really delicious. The cake was moist and had small pieces of pineapples in it. A nice addition in my opinion. Good frosting as well.
Snoopy cookies.
Ceramic cupcakes, cute!
I have a nice spot at my place for this cupcake rack. ;o)
We had a really fun day!
Bye Snoopy!

A Promise Is A Promise
I don't think that I've mentioned this on the blog before now but the reason Sister K agreed to do this 10K with me...
...was because I had agreed that if she did, I would promise to go with her to Knott's Berry Farm and ride with her on 2 roller coaster rides.
No not these rides!
Montezooma's Revenge was the first one I got on. That was a mistake. I was really scared. I closed my eyes the entire time but no screaming! The second ride I went on was what I was told was NOT a scary ride...Dragon Swing. Turns out it was the most scary ride EVER! I screamed a ton. Finished off with Jaguar which was a medium scary ride. I'm not a big roller coaster fan. I'm afraid of heights for goodness sake. But there are very few things that will get your adrenaline level soaring quite like roller coaster rides. It was fun! I survived and kept my promise. :o)
Yay, I'm the wimpy roller coaster champ!
This is more along my speed.
Frontier style town
Sister K doing all the hard work and me just "borrowing" her photos..hehe.

Things That Make You Go Hmm...
Here are some random photos that neither fits here nor there to keep you entertained while I am out doing my Saturday long run. :o)
Wow, just look at how happy I am in this race photo for the Coaster Run! I'm even giving it the big thumbs up! Sister K there looks like she is on an actual roller coaster. Funny!
So last weekend I purchased a small loaf of raisin pecan bread from Whole Foods and have been eating it this entire week. Toasted. With PB. And Jam. Too much bread to eat on my own. Thank goodness it is almost all gone.
So a few weeks ago, I made a Tweet Cloud, which pulled the top 20 words I've used in all my tweets since I opened my account. Looks like I love me some MARATHON! I'm surprised that CUPCAKE isn't larger. I need to eat and tweet more about cupcakes apparently.
Finally, you may or may not have seen this photo around the web but just look at this travesty up near Big Sur. The collapse of this road. The reason why this year's Big Sur Marathon course will likely be an out-and-back. This is scary, I hope no one was hurt when this happened. I am still super excited about running Big Sur. Maybe I'll go back next year as well when they have fixed this problem.
Hope you are having a nice weekend! See you on Monday for weekend recap!
