A Wonderful Dinner at Amelia's Restaurant on Balboa Island

Another weekend and another fantastic Travelzoo. Around six months ago Jenn and I went to Amelia's Restaurant on Balboa Island with a $40 Groupon and loved it. When we saw the Travelzoo had a $59 4-Course meal with Wine I purchased it right after it posted. So this past weekend (Saturday 6/2) we had the opportunity to drive the mile to the restaurant and enjoy an incredibly tasty meal.

A Dinner to Remember - Hyatt Huntington Beach

I've mentioned before how big a fan I am of things like Groupon, Living Social, Travelzoo, etc. Well I buy a ton of these things and Jenn and I use them for our date nights.

We could not have asked for better weather, food, or drinks.

Possibly the Best Burger I Have Ever Had

I really should write more about food, it truly is a passion of mine. In fact I should say a passion of both Jenn and I. If you have ever wondered what Jenn and I spend money on it is eating out, we love to eat out. A few weekends back we began to look for a house to buy in Irvine. For those who know Jenn and I you know that its not necessarily the closest location to our current jobs but we are pretty in love with the area and are hopeful in the future that we can eventually move to jobs that would be closer.
