Attended my cousin Jennifer's Christmas party and spent the night down in OC.  The next morning was a rainy day and what better way to spend it than having some clam chowder?  Well when it comes to Clam Chowder my all-time favorite is the Crab Cooker in Newport.  We've been going here for years.  When we used to visit California (when I still lived in Hawaii with my family), we would always make sure we went here.  My dad even filled up a thermos (a big one) and brought it back on the plane with him once!  

We just picked some up to go since the little boys had to take their naps, but it was just as good.  They even give you the yummy bread sticks or bread balls to go as well!

well since we were already in OC, we thought hmmm, maybe we should stop at "Claws" on the way back to LA.  We just LOVE Claws!  And my memory evades me sometimes but I'm sure I have blogged about this place before.  We decided to splurge this time and get some oysters as starters!  Yum!
