My First Get-A-Way!

Hello Everyone!
It's been about two weeks now that I've been living in California. Time has flown by!! I've had multiple people ask me when I was going to post something...I finally found the time on my day off to go do some sight seeing! Work has been keeping me REALLY BUSY. I know once I get through this holiday season I will definitely be going on plenty of adventures.
So i was on the hunt for a Cupcakery in nearby Los Gatos, only about 6miles away from San Jose. I popped in the address in my GPS and I off I went.
This is a picture of Downtown Los Gatos, really cute and quaint.
On my walk I ran into Poeh Bagel...
Seeing as how I hadnt eaten yet, I stopped in for a Lox and Cream Cheese on a Gourmet Pesto Bagel, yum...
After that I found Icing on the Cake just a couple of doors down the way
OMG, sooo cute and the smell when you walk in is incredible!!!
They had so many different flavors to choose from not to mention their merchandise for sell.
From cakes to cookies, they have it all!!
After I finally chose what I was to buy( red velvet cupcake, sugar cookie w/pink icing and a slice of bannana walnut chocolate chip loaf) I know what your thinking...Not to worry its not all for me, I'm sharing with my cousins! After that I took a walk to the nearby park...
Can you believe these trees...
I loved the water fountain in the distance... it was such a beautiful day out today, the weather was on my side. That's quickly changing with rain headed our way this weekend. I'm glad I got away before the change.
The following picture is where I live. The area is gorgeous!! This is the street I live on.
And this is my cousins house. The area we live in takes part in decorating a tree with lights and placing it in your front yard, only $15 for decent size tree. It looks so cute at night with everyone's tree on in the yard. I have to tell you, our tree stands out the MOST cause we're the only one's with a Star!
So that's it for this instalment of Vanessa getting away for a bit!! Back to work tomorrow!! But I do have A Birthday coming up very soon...so ya'll will hear from me sooner than later!!
Love you and Miss you All,
Vanessa
