a true vacation
I am currently sitting in Napa, California sipping sticky toffee tea and enjoying the quiet of Bridget's house. So far this vacation I have done a whole lot of nothing, which has been glorious!
Bridget had to work yesterday and today but I think that has been for the best. I've had a chance to catch up on some much needed sleep, rest and relaxation. Yesterday consisted of a nice sleep-in, Bible study, a long hot shower, watching Apollo 13, giving myself a manicure, a nap, taking more than 10 minutes to put my make-up - so many little "me" things I haven't had time or energy to do in the past few weeks.
After B came home we went out for Mexican food (fish tacos to be exact, which were so good and inexpensive it was almost criminal!), then See's *sigh*. We came home and spent a few hours playing card games and Monopoly before heading out to fill the 'fridge at Whole Foods, Trader Joes (where I stocked up on all the things I loved that we ate during my last visit bauhausfrau!) and Target. I crashed after that.
Today will be more of the same, although with the addition of internet surfing since B was kind enough to leave me her brand new shiny Macbook Pro. Still getting used to this Mac thing! I'm hoping today will also involve some In'n Out. We stopped for fries on our way home from the airport but now I'm feeling the need for one of those beautiful cheeseburgers! :>
Tomorrow we are off to "The City", otherwise known to foreigners like myself as San Francisco, to pick up my friend Maegan from the airport for her weekend visit with us and then spend the day seeing the sights. I have no idea what we are doing but Bridget has a plan which she assures me involves sourdough bread so I'm cool with it. I'm really just excited to be on vacation, away from work, obligations and expectations and getting to hang out with two of my most favorite people! Whoo hoo!
