Even though I had to wait a extra day to see Wayne, it still was wonderful! I picked him up on Friday morning, and after a few moments of just enjoying a long hug, we ventured our way home. Olive was glad to see him, but a little skeptical at first. We decided that even though he just got home that we were going to spend the day with some of his buddies. We joined a friend in Concord for a BBQ, then we all piled in the truck, to head over to another guy who is on the ship house. We sat and watched movies, and they got to catch up and have some quality guy time. Once again I was the only girl, but that's OK. We decided to go to the Concord drive in and we went to see The Despicable me...well I slept through it. After a long day, and making the decision that none of us were going to make it through the second feature we decided to call it quits.
The next morning Wayne and I decided to head up the coast to Hearst Castle....It was a peaceful drive and we got to see some beautiful sights. While we were waiting for our tour time we walked through a shoreline town. We then ventured our way through part of the castle (we will have to go back and do another section at some point). We then decided that we were going to head up Highway 1 (the coast) and look for a hotel to stay the night at...after many towns and many more NO VACANCY signs we gave up. But along the way we got to see Elephant seals and a beautiful sunset, and we were able to enjoy each other's company. So once we reached Monterey we decided that we were just going to head home, by this time it was already almost midnight. We were successful, reaching our house at around one!
Sunday was a little on the chilly side, but we slept in...which was much needed to recuperated from the adventures from the night before. We then decided to go play tennis...10 matches later and both of us winning 5 a piece, we were tired and headed home. The rest of the day, was spent being lazy, and catching up on household chores. We finished the night off with a lemon pepper crab linguine.. and a glass of wine....what a great weekend!
We were both back to the grind this morning, and he is standing duty...but looking forward to getting back into a routine with my man.
Thank you so much for the update. I'm so glad that the love of your life is home safe and that you were able to enjoy some time together. I know how much you missed him and how much you will enjoy having him around for the next 8 months.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are wonderful. I know from experience, that the sites are breathtaking. There is so much to see in California. You are so fortunate to enjoy exploring the West Coast with the ones that you love.
Love you lots and miss you more.
