Getaway

So Brent works A LOT in the summer months and since that time is fastly approaching we thought we should take a little vaca just the two of us. My mom was nice enough to watch the kids at a moments notice. There are many perks to having my mom live here and this is one of them. We decided to stay pretty close so we didn't have to waste time or gas driving somewhere since we live in one of the best vacation spots around. We ended up going to a place called the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. It was truly amazing. Almost a little to ritzy for me, but just enough to where you feel spoiled. We were in the 'cottages.' It was like a little piece of heaven. Our room was almost as big as our apartment. The bed was so soft you didn't want to get up once you laid down and the bathroom was what i would want in my dream bathroom. Here are some pictures of our room below. It had an awesome fire place. They had it all ready to go with wood, and newspaper and kindling. Even a really stupid person could light this fire.
Here is the bed, so beautiful

Oh the tub!


The first morning we were there we decided to go on a walk. There is an amazing golf course right there so we walked about three miles around it. Since there was no one golfing right then we decided to explore. We walked to this very little waterfall, across some bridges, sat on some hills until we saw golfers coming and got off the field. Since the whole bird poop thing i am trying to not let anything land on me. It was a great peaceful morning.



Here is a friend we met along the way.


Next we snuck back to our apartments to discuss leasing options( it was our last day to do so.) They pretty much told us they they don't give a D***( don't worry that really isn't a swear word, what were you thinking of me..) about us and that if we wouldn't pay the outrageous amount they wanted to raise our rent that someone else would. I hate apartments. I miss owning our own home and cant wait to do so again in a couple years. This time we will be much smarter. Anyways after that we went to lunch at this really good Texas barbecue place. And then spent the night being without kids and all alone. The next morning after sleeping in and taking as long as i wanted to get ready we left our lovely second home and went for the afternoon to the beach( all alone with out kids, did i mention!!!)

First we stopped for lunch at El Indio ( if you come to San Diego stop by here you wont be disappointed.)






And go to Torrey Pines beach. It is amazingly beautiful. We had a blast finding rocks and shells for the kids cause the best gifts are the ones from the heart ( or the free ones..hehe). Then we laid out our towel and took a nap. AND i didn't get pooped on once. It was great. I think Brent and i are going to make this an annual get a way. I love just being alone with my husband in such a wonderful place.
