2nd Anniversary

Monday the 5th is our 2nd Wedding Anniversary. How fast time flies. With the 5th being a Monday we decided to take a little trip this weekend to celebrate. We decided to go up North along the coast and visit Hearst Castle. We left after work on Friday and ended up eating at Chili's on the way. Yummy mashed potatos. We stayed the first night in Morro Bay and little did we know they were having a Hot Rod Car show there. So the hotel's were a little busy. Lucky us the Hot Rod Car owners decided to leave at 6 am and had to show off their engine noise. That was wonderful to wake up to, let me tell ya.
This is us up at Hearst Castle, the only picture we took together. The castle was huge and had three huge guest houses. To understand how big it is, the smallest guest house has 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. So you can imagine how big the rest of the houses are on the grounds.
The pool below is the Neptune Pool and is huge. There was also another indoor pool that had 24 carat gold floor tiles. Amazing how much money was spent on this property to build it over 28 years and it was never finished all the way.
I think the Gardens were our favorite part of the tour. They were so beautiful and smelled so nice!
Speaking of smells, we stopped off at this point of interest. Those things behind me are elephant seals and they are huge and smell terrible. The seals were coming out of the water, laying in the sand, throwing sand on themselves, and I guess they shed their skins around this time. Some of the seals had half of their skin on them. It was a crazy site to see, all of them on the beach.
Happy Anniversary to Us! It has been a fun and wonderful two years. I look to many, many more with my Beautiful Honey Bun!

Why must you always have so much fun? It makes me realize how boring we are...

Dear Jackie,

If you think you are boring, you are wrong. The only thing less boring than your weekly adventures would be a rock-star life style. Is that what you want?

Sincerely,
Becky
