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 🙂…
Like Magic
We’re making our final approach (at least, pretty soon… I can feel us going lower) and even from the middle seat, the view is breathtaking. The mountains are amazing. Even the deserts are pretty amazing. What I am most amazed by though is, having done this trip several times before on the ground, the fact…
Southwest Alphabet
Well, we made the next leg of the trip, but it feels like barely! We got to Chicago just after 9:15 maybe, local time, and had to get the flight to San Jose, CA at 9:55 local time. Seems like plenty of time right? Jen took a needed pregnancy bathroomo trip, and we headed through…
The Window Seat
I forgot how amazing it is to fly. I think I probably felt that way as a kid when we would fly back and forth from Venezuela, and various trans-Atlantic flights. But I just forgot. I am so glad I had a window seat! The view is just amazing. To watch the things on the…
