Our Fourth Anniversary Part #2

Okay, so our plane got into California around 7:30. We went to the Rental Car location and were given a choice between five different cars. This really threw us off, what rental car company give you a choice. After about 10-15 minutes of deliberation I made the split decision to take the Dodge Calibar(sp). When we walked out Chris went to the car he thought we had picked and I had to inform him that we had picked a different one. So needless to say all weekend he keep making comments on how a different car would be driving, have leather and on and on... But it was pretty funny that we made a decision and he didn't realize what it was exactly! How our minds work together after 4 years! :) We drive about 5 minutes to our Honeymoon suite at the Econo Lodge! We checked in, looked around and decided to go drive around the neighborhood to find something to eat and something to do. We stopped at a little Mexican restaurant and had some dinner that was DELICIOUS! These Mexicans knew just how I like my bean/cheese burrito! Yummy, yummy. Chris and I kinda have a tradition when we take little trips like this. We haven't taken very many but the few we have we always do this. We find a bookstore and just walk around and usually buy a book or two. Luckily there was a Target and Borders in the same parking lot about 1 minute from our hotel. We hung out in the bookstore for a little while and then headed back to the hotel. (Funny side note about the bookstore. We don't ever go to them here in Vegas, only when we go out of town! Silly right?) We get ready for bed, I read some more of my book and Chris watches TV. After midnight I decided that I'm tired, I put my book down and lay down. Then I start missing my kids, this is the first night without Katelee in the other room and I actually start crying. (I know I'm crazy!) I know I'm not a bad mother, but at that very moment I felt like one....Abandoning my children so I could have a good time without them... I was very tired so I quickly fell asleep. The hotel offered a Continental Breakfast from 7-10am... We didn't make that either day! Chris and I slept in till around 9:30 each morning! Wow wasn't that nice... So we got up, got ready and headed down toward the "Cannery Row" area. We walked around and took quite a few pictures.....Here is Chris at one lookout. The weather was beautiful the whole weekend. During the day it was in the 60's and at night it got pretty cold, down to the 50's. Chris loved the weather the entire time... I liked it when the fog lifted in the early afternoon....Here is me at the same lookout. The only thing that sucks about going on vacation just the two of us is we are pretty much by ourselves in every picture! But oh well...This was outside a hotel that we walked by. I thought it was pretty... Too bad we couldn't both be sitting on the edge, that would make a really cute picture. I tried to show Chris the crack on the inside of that fountain but he wouldn't fall for that one. (Sorry Anna, I tried) After this little area we walked on down to Lovers Point. We actually walked on the beach here and I touched the water with my feet and I think they are still blue from how cold that water was! I love the ocean. Story Time: I didn't get to see the ocean until I was 20 and in Hawaii! The water was an absolutely beautiful blue and felt like bath water. So any time I see the ocean now, I'm always a little disappointed... It's never been as beautiful as Hawaii! Anyways, we took some pictures down at the beach....This is Chris contemplating his purpose in life.... (okay, really I made him sit there so I could see if I could get a good picture of him, he is a good husband and did as I told him)
And here is Chris' immature wife chasing this little bird around the beach. He wasn't very fast, but when I did get close he'd run and then fly... Cheater! I know I made Chris proud to call me his wife as I chased the bird around on Lovers Point Beach! Finally he told me to leave the 'old' bird alone, so I did! After this we walked around some more and I got a big old pickle. Yummy!To be Continued....
