It's a hectic time of year when you are retailers but we have learned over the years to make time for what is important. Last night I got to spend a wonderful evening with my two favorite people in the world. We headed to Beverly Hills and on the way I asked the Lord to lead us somewhere special. He did!
We started off on world famous Rodeo Drive and it was C-O-L-D! Our Revelation TOPS scarves, leg warmers, and gloves served us well! Behind us is the Beverly Wilshire Hotel where Dale stayed when Princess Marcella Borghese flew him out shortly after we were married. It's also where the Julia Roberts/Richard Gere movie "Pretty Woman" was filmed.
The lobby was exquisite, just as we would expect.
It was a Sunday evening and the stores were closed. A perfect time to window shop. It was like we had the town all to ourselves. I loved the Saks windows with gowns, makeup, and elegant, frosty party displays.
Rodeo Drive was decked out in red and white lights and many of the stores looked like they were gift wrapped.
Now here was our special surprise, the answer to my prayer. In a very unique way the Lord led us to Crustacean. Totally unplanned and what a treat, especially for a foodie like me. I love new food adventures! The path to the dining room is an aquarium!!! We kept thinking we were going to fall in but loved it!
We walked in to this famous Beverly Hills restaurant that was fully booked, with no reservation, the Sunday before Christmas, and guess what? They happened to have one table left and it was prime.
This is their signature dish and now I know why. Succulent Maine Lobster with Vietnamese Garlic Noodles. YUM!!!!!
Here are some of the "regulars". See anyone you know?
What a lovely and memorable time we had! Truly a special Christmas memory.
