An afternoon in Monrovia

We decided to take a little trip to Old town Monrovia. It was chilly but still a pleasant afternoon.




Our original plan was to take Lacey for a walk and grab some Pinkberry.....but we ended up grabbing some lunch as well. After some walking and checking out the various restaurants...we decided on:
Jake's Roadhouse
622 Myrtle Ave-Monrovia CA





Lacey was happy as a lark to be on her daddy's lap






Even though, I was feeling quite crappy...it still felt nice to get some fresh air and some good food





This is an artsy Delilah shot of a peanut in her water.... she wanted to make it look like the peanut was floating in the water. Not sure if she accomplished her goal, but it made for a cool pic.







In case you missed it...Lacey was wearing her adorably cute Owl knitted sweater.




Only Eric would order "Tony's - Thermal Nuclear Mexican Burger"





He ate every last morsel of his VERY HOT burger....I was so proud of him. He should totally be the host of "Man vs' Food".






These two Straussies always seem to make me laugh, there is never a dull moment.





What can I say....she's a diva!






It was nice outing.... good food...good company...good times.
