Time to Ourselves

Last year Mike and I signed up to be drivers to take the Youth to Cambria for a 2 1/2 day Youth Conference. Since we had so much fun we told ourselves, that if we were able to get a sitter next year, we were signing up again! As luck would have it, we were able to secure a sitter (check) Mike took the time off of work (check) and we reserved a hotel, the same one we stayed in last time in Morro Bay (check check)! (We really didn't want to have to stay on the camp grounds with the Youth and sleep in separate cabins). What kind of fun would that be? Our getaway started off a bit bumpy with a brief visit with the CHP in Kings County, and me having a hard time missing Damien, and with the unexpected visit with CHP. Thankfully things began to look up as our trip progressed. Once we dropped the Youth off at their camp, we were GONE! While the weather was 100+ in Fresno we were enjoying weather in the 60's maybe 70's.

Needless to say the weather was GREAT! Clear sunny skies!

Sand, lots of walking and flip flops do not mix :(

We had fun exploring, and doing whatever we wanted without kids!

We spent lots of time at the beach. Our first night we stayed and watched the sunset.

The cute little Hotel we stayed in

The Youth we had in our car were great. (Thank goodness)! We packed lots of food so we didn't have to eat out a lot. We were so dedicated to not eating out, we brought milk and cereal for breakfast.  We planned to splurge on dinner our first night and salt water taffy. We were like kids in a candy store and spent $20 on candy! After watching the sunset, we warmed up with some hot chocolate. As I said in a previous post, I was very happy to stay on top of the Olympic coverage when we returned to our Hotel at night!  Mike loved having cable and being able to channel surf, watching multiple shows/movies like the good old days when he had cable. I enjoyed spending this time with my Honey. These past couple of months have been hard, and to do things like this are much needed to keep our bond strong.
