Five Year Getaway

This year Drew and I celebrated 5 years of marriage.  Wow!  It seems so long, but it really flew by.  We now have a beautiful daughter who will be two in 3 months, Drew has an amazing job, I am living my dream job of being a stay-at-home mommy (or mama as Makenna is stuck saying), we have wonderful family and friends, and are truly blessed.  I love this man more today then I did when I married him, and we have for sure have had some ups and downs along the way.  This past weekend we were able to get away to Seascape near Aptos and Monterey Bay.  It was absolutely beautiful and relaxing.  Our room was complete with kitchen and fireplace… Our view and background noise was of the ocean… We spent the evening going on a walk and explore the surrounding hotel, playing scrabble and eating pizza on the balcony, and watching a movie in bed.  The next day we had breakfast on the balcony while watching deer and dolphins, went to the Mystery Spot (but never went in), had ice cream at Marianne’s, sat on the beach for a few hours and read some books, played a few card games, and people watched, oh and took a nap, went to a yummy restaurant for dinner, and played some more board games.  On our way home we stopped at Lighthouse State Park and Natural Bridges for some beautiful views.  It was totally relaxing and a much needed break from life.
