Lounging with Presidents

Although Summer is not officially here until June, you would not know it here in Riverside with the thermometer rising to 103˚ this weekend. After shopping for some fresh fruit and vegetables at the Farmer's Market downtown on Saturday, we headed into the coolness of the Mission Inn. We needed a most dignified refreshment, so we made our way into the stately Presidential Lounge.

This way Mr. President

Why not walk in the same hallways as Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy? It does a spirit good.

Filet Mignon Nachos

My friend recommended the Filet Mignon Nachos and now after having them, I can do the same. They are unusual and delicious.

Visiting the Mission Inn is like stepping back in time for awhile.

 Any discomfort from overeating can be eased with a leisurely stroll along the promenade.
