Yes folks, we had a blast. And now we are back home taking care of our four kids, and last weekend, we kept our friends’ three girls for three days to boot! So, I haven’t gotten to sit down and share some of the highlights of our trip with you. We haven’t even gotten to…

All Things Together
I’m writing this from 30,000 feet. We have a perfectly clear, sunny day for our return flight home. The view is majestic. It never ends. I never get tired of it. In fact, in between these sentences, I keep glancing over to make sure I don’t miss anything. So far we have crossed three states,…
Fisherman’s Wharf – Monterey Style
Tonight we decided to go for a walk down Fisherman’s Wharf in downtown Monterey. It’s only about a 10 minute drive from our place. Lots of little shops, and lots of FOOD (which we needed NONE of!) and, lots of SEALS. Seriously. Lots of seals. Making lots of noise. There were also otters, sea gulls,…
A Lunch Meeting, And The Bills Won
We headed out the door at 12:45pm, knowing that Character’s Sports Bar was not too far from where we were staying. I had seen on the map where we needed to go, and was confident we could find it. That confidence was misplaced. When we got to where I thought we needed to turn, the…
Morning Football??
This morning we slept in a bit later. Remember yesterday? Our first day on Pacific Daylight Time? Today instead of getting up at 6:30, we managed to sleep till about 7:15. 🙂 We did try to just relax in bed for a while, but that didn’t work. Instead, since it was Jen’s birthday, I offered…
My Jen
Today is my Jen’s birthday. I have known her for more than half of her life now. I have never loved her more. I love that this birthday came during an entire week of life devoted to just being together. We are out here, 3000 miles from our life, just enjoying each other, and some…
Pacific Ocean
We took a stroll up to the Pacific Ocean tonight. It’s only a few blocks from our house. (Although I think that beach is technically Monterey Bay, it’s close enough!) There’s a beach called “Lover’s Point” at the end of our road. I thought that was rather appropriate for our 10th anniversary trip. 🙂 It…
PDT
So, we’re three hours behind out here, did you know that? Cause… I do. Last night we went to bed at 9:21pm… exhausted! And then, due to me using the decorative pillow instead of the real one most of the night, I kept waking up thinking it was time to be up. It wasn’t. I…
One Of The Craziest Days of My Life
I am pretty sure that this day that started at 2:30am PDT, and is just ending now at 9:12pm PDT has been one of the craziest in my life. Crazy good, but still crazy. We finally got to Pacific Grove, where we are staying, just before the office closed at 9pm. We are exhausted!!! (Just…
Steve Jobs Sighting!
Holy cow! What amazing timing!!! We took the short trip over to Cupertino while waiting for the Apple Store in San Jose to open tonight for the big Leopard party (where we plan to get two free t-shirts!) We weren’t sure what we would find, but we had no idea we’d get so lucky 🙂…
