North Shore Mini Vacay and Golf

Outside a cottage on #1 hole of Fazio

Sometimes, we all just need a little getaway to recoup, rejuvenate, and refresh one's self. So, when I had the chance to play in a 2-day golf tournament at North Shore's Turtle Bay and stay over at the luscious and beautiful hotel, I definitely did not turn it down. Here's a look at some of the things I got to enjoy!

While on the North Shore, there's a multitude of things I like to see, eat and do. Check out my other posts here, here, and here.

First stop on the North Shore before checking in- Giovanni's shrimp!

My view from my room! I kept the sliding door open all night, falling asleep to the waves and waking up to it with a bright blue sky. Breathtaking.

Bye, North Shore. Had to have this one more time. Strawberry Banana Smoothie was the BEST.

Sam Choy's BLC- Oysterfest!

I haven't been to Sam Choy's on Nimitz for quite some time, but when Dad told me about their Oysterfest, I knew we had to make an appearance! It only happens for one week, every year! Sam Choy's features 3 types of raw oysters on the half shell and a variety of different cooked/baked options. I have never had Oysters Rockefeller before, so we chose that as our appetizer to share, and then each of us ordered our own meals.

I was surprised when we walked in how calm and quiet the place was. Not like I remembered! I guess the place's popularity has definitely died down over the years.

Taste of food? Well, I thought the Oysters Rockefeller was delicious, but my parents said other places do it better. The key to baked oysters, though, is you have to eat them while they're hot!! Can't wait to try more Oysters Rockefeller in the future!

My Crab Omelette was equally as delicious as the Oysters. A light and fluffy omelette stuffed with a generous amount of crab chunks. I don't know if it completely compares to my favorite, Bogart's Crab and Avocado Omelette, but I did enjoy it!

Out To Brunch!

When I think of Brunch on the weekend, I think of something light, flirty and fluttery to wear. Chiffon, light in color, and very feminine. Picked this baby up from Basique Threads a couple weeks ago, and have fallen in love. This is exactly what I was looking for! Plus, I so love the small details of the studs. Nothing too gaudy- very simple and clean. And the belt! I can't get enough of the bow detail! Works perfectly with this dress!

PS- Excuse my Dad's fingers in the pictures!
