Staycation, Day 4
Our last full staycation day found us having a spa day for two. Something I never in a million years would have imagined Phil agreeing to much less enjoying. But, we each got a massage on our vacation to Puerto Vallarta a few years back and Phil surprised himself with how much he enjoyed it and said he could see how people could get hooked on them. I took that as a sign that a spa day for two was now totally in the realm of possible for us. In a word, it was aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. Best way we could have spent our last full day together. That and one last…

Staycation, Day 3
It wasn’t exactly the plan to gain a hundred pounds during our staycation, so we spent the morning of day 3 hiking along the PV cliffs. Though we probably would have needed to hike for several days to burn off all the calories ingested, it was a beautiful way to spend the morning. Thoroughly enjoyable hiking by ourselves. We kept commenting on how we thought the kids would do if they were with us. The older two probably would have hung in there, though we suspected a headache for Mikey. Phil would be lugging Lauren on his shoulders and I’d have Jonah hanging off me. Not nearly as enjoyable and…

Staycation, Day 2
So day two of our staycation found us down in San Diego. Jumped into the Mustang after church and took off for a day trip. Just because we could. Spent the afternoon doing a little outlet shopping. Also just because we could. And for dinner… Not to worry though because I’ve got three whole days left of our staycation to relive!

Staycation, Day 1
Just as soon as VBS was over on Friday, we loaded up the kids and all their stuff and whisked them off to Ventura where we met the grandparents for a switcheroo. They took our van full o’ kids back to their house while we drove my dad’s green truck back to our house. For a glorious five-day staycation. We figured instead of spending money on a hotel for only a couple of nights, we’d put it towards eating instead and stretch out our normal two to three day getaway into five days. Did I say it was glorious already? Because it was. Glorious. On the drive back home, we…

Thanks to dear friends who offered to babysit for us (thanks Jami and James- we love you guys!!), Phil and I were able to go out and celebrate our thirteenth anniversary this past July. We finished off with a glassful of brownie bites in chocolate ice cream with a bing cherry on top. So. Much. Food. So fun, though. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 😉 PS- Happy anniversary, Phil! I am so blessed to be walking…
