A roadtrip to the beach ~ the recap

A good Monday morning to all of you.

:o)

I'm in a rush this morning, but I wanted to post a the few Instagrams I took this past weekend of our quick San Diego trip. And go...

Doug picked me up from work at 3:00 on Friday and we headed out of town.

~happy~

We stopped at McDonalds in Gila Bend for a bathroom break. You'd have to know Gila Bend to appreciate this photo - a broken up wagon as lawn decor.

Me. Happy for the road trip, bored with nothing to keep me busy...

5:00 p.m. coffee in hopes that we'll be able to stay awake past 9:00 p.m. {It worked and I think we made it till about midnight!}

Saturday afternoon, sitting at an outdoor bar drinking mai tai's - my man to the right of me, the beach and ocean to my left - when I received a call from Carrie who proceeded to lecture me about how many drinks I had already had and "It's only 2:00, dude!" Hello? I'm on vacation here!!!

The hotel where we stayed was on Mission Bay and we had a room with a bay view. It was so nice, and made it really easy just to stay put in our room, enjoy the view, and take some time to relax.

And at night we got to see the fireworks display from Sea World. It was so cool to see the reflection of the fireworks on the bay. {Ok, ok, so I'd had too many mai tai's to be able to figure out my big camera settings to get a decent fireworks photo.} :o)

Sunday morning we walked to the other end of the boardwalk to have breakfast at a favorite spot, and along the way I saw this cool painting on the curb:

We managed a little shopping at Sea Port Village before making the 6-hour drive back home yesterday. I picked up this silly little penguin and my Instagram caption was: "Kinda' like having Debs14 along for the ride." :o)

It was a quick trip there and back, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and it was a much needed get-away. This week I'll be focusing on being grateful for our little trip instead of feeling sad that it was so quick.

I totally wish we were still there!

~sigh~

Wishing a fantastic week to all who read this.
