Pismo Beach

Josh smiling big at lunch (I love those blue eyes).

The trick I can do with my big belly and a soda, I'm ready for the circus.

"Kiteboarding"

The asparagus salad Josh ordered....yum!

Josh and I got away this weekend for our anniversary. We dropped off the girls in Visalia with Nana and Papa and headed to Pismo. Our friends, Chad & Liege, were also celebrating their anniversary and so we decided we'd all meet up in Pismo and hang out for the weekend.


Here are some highlights of our trip:

• The most peaceful two and a half hour drive to Pismo, no kids screaming in the backseat, no emergency stops for a potty break, just me and Josh.
• The jacuzzi that graced our balcony and where I probably spent 90% of my time.
• The hour long massage I got (heavenly).
• Eating king crab legs with lots of butter at a table with a view of the sunset.
• Eating dessert two nights in a row and not even trying to justify it.
• Walking along the beach and listening to the ocean.
• Watching tons of guys "kiteboard" along the beach.
• Talking to Josh for hours and hours, and loving every minute of it.
• Eating a clam chowder bread bowl at the Splash Cafe.
• Getting to know Chad & Liege more.
• Spending two blissful nights away and realizing I do miss my children when I'm away.
• Breathing that ocean air.
• Reading magazine after magazine with no interruptions.
• Dreaming together about our future.
• Wondering why we don't do this more.

Well we are back now, and you'd think after the great weekend I had I would be more than ready to step back into reality but....My girls missed me and need lots of attention, I need to make them dinner, I have lots of bags to unpack, my house is a mess (just the way I left it), they are so noisy and I think I'm getting a headache.
