I will be linking up to these wonderful parties.
Well, not much has gone on at home for the last week because I haven’t been there.
I have spent 8 of the last 10 days at the coast. First with my daughter and then with friends.
I spent Mother’s Day weekend with my daughter in San Diego, where we did our best to boost the economy by doing a bit of shopping.
First it was breakfast in bed. Apparently there was a problem with the a/c in our room in the middle of the night and a repair man had to come up and fix it. I slept through the whole thing but my clever and frugal daughter got our breakfast compted.
It was yummy!
Then it was off for a Whale and Dolphin Cruise. Mothers were free on Mother’s Day. You can’t beat a free breakfast and a free cruise.
I had a total blast on the trip. We got into a group of over 100 dolphins. They were swimming next to the boat as we sprinted through the water. Unfortunately my daughter had a terrible bout of sea sickness. But she was a trooper and did get to see the dolphins while leaning over the side of the boat.
After the boat docked and we were making our way to the car my daughter said she hoped she had not ruined the day. Such a big difference from the way she would have handled the situation even a few years ago. I welled up with love and pride at how adult my baby had become. An adult who is both thoughtful and considerate. I couldn’t have asked for a better Mother’s Day gift.
I was only home for a few days and it was off to Cayucos as a guest of our friends. You have never heard of Cayucos? I am not surprised. It is a sleepy little town on the California Central Coast snuggled between Pismo Beach and Hearst Castle. It is a sweet little town where the beach is always waiting.
This was my view on Saturday afternoon. I couldn’t ask for anything better.
Of course no vacation to Cayucos would be complete without a stroll through town to check out the cute little homes like this little blue cottage.
Then it was out to dinner with our friends where we had fish and chips at Ducky's. What a great time and so relaxing.
Now that I am back at home the relaxing is over. We are trying to refinance our home and I am determined to get the highest appraisal we can.
So while I thought I would be spending the next few weeks posting about my break up with Blogger, I will be putting that on the back burner and sharing the appraisal process with all of you.
Not only have I done my research but I have a punch list of things I want to complete before the appraisal. So stay tuned because the work starts tomorrow.
Thanks for reading,
Traci
