4.13 Summer

Well this week hasn't seemed much like summer until yesterday...we are finally getting spring weather and the rain seems to be gone.  We planted 3 azalea plants a couple of months ago and they starting blooming this week!  We THINK we planted 2 purple on each side and a white one in the middle...the 3rd one hasn't bloomed yet....crossing our fingers :)

In the thick of it

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginatio...

One Year Anniversary!

Image
I have been trying to update my travel journal over the last view days and I can't believe how fortunate we have been over this past year. We had planned on celebrating our anniversary next weekend in LA for our friends wedding, but as we both just love to pick up and leave we changed our minds at the last minute. My Aunt and Uncle from Northern Michigan are in California for a month, and they came through Chico a couple of weekends ago on the way back from Tahoe. The mentioned that we should come visit them at their rental house in Sausalito the following weekend...so that's just what we did! We spent Friday night in Sausalito at their amazing rental house, toured Muir Woods Saturday morning and then headed for Napa Saturday midday! It was a perfect anniversary weekend. Here are a few pictures!

Girls Trip Day One, Pismo Beach

Image
Last Monday I headed down to Pismo Beach to meet with the lovely ladies in my family!  It was 80 and sunny...so crazy for this time of year!  I got there a bit early so I checked into the Shore Cliff Best Western...one of the nicest Best Western's I've ever seen...the views were amazing!  I put my stuff in the room and headed down to the little boardwalk/hut in front of our room to snap some pictures. A few minutes later my Mom, Grandma, Aunt Heidi and Aunt Sara arrived!  We settled in and grabbed some wine and headed back down by the water to watch the sunset. After our little cocktail hour we headed to downtown Pismo for dinner, Sara and I had both read about Splash's Cafe, world best clam chowder bowls.  We all went for the clam chowder bread bowl and it was amazing!  After dinner we took a stroll to the end of the pier and then called it an early night.
