Anniversary Week

Wowiewoo!!!  Today started the week long 25th anniversary week.  I have looked forward to this week for 25 years.  Art and I went to San Diego 8 months before we got married.  We had had so much fun and I knew after that he really was my best friend and I wanted him in my life forever.  I made him promise when we got married that for our 25th anniversary, we would go back and do all the fun things we did the first time...........and here we are.

The Buddy and Miss R picked us up bright and early to take us to the airport.  We first flew to Oakland and it was super cold.  I was so glad I had my hoodie with me.  Then on to San Diego.  It was chilly when we arrived.  Excuse me........what happened to sunny California?  The line at the rental car place was insanely long.  We were so happy that we were members and could be helped quickly.  While waiting our turn, we watched planes fly directly over us and it appeared like we could just reach up and touch them, oh and they were really really loud.  We got our big ol honkin car (it's a Crown Victoria)  and headed for our condo on the beach.

We figured out where the condo was but it wasn't quite time to check in so we went to Subway for lunch.  Then we checked to see if we could check in as it was about 20 minutes prior to check in but the key wasn't in the box so............we decided to go to Walmart and pick up some groceries.  They didn't have a very big selection of food items so we also went to the grocery store across the parking lot from Walmart.  Then we headed back to the condo. Success the key was available.  It is a great condo and I can sit on the couch in the living room and look at the beach and ocean.  We are right on the beach. My sister Trixie (I say that like I have more than one sister hahaha) would absolutely love this place.  Anyway it is a great place. We are really pleased with it. It is about 900 square feet and has two bedrooms and bathrooms.  The kitchen appliances are all new.

After getting all settled in we walked the beach and over to the boardwalk.  There was tons of people of all ages fishing off the boardwalk.

One of Art's favorite restaurants is the Black Angus. They closed the one back home some time ago.  As luck would have it......there is one here.  Glory be.  We went there for dinner.  Art loves loves loves the steak soup.  They have the best potato soup and garlic mashed potatoes. Those are my faves. In fact, my garlic mashed potatoes is their recipe.  As luck would have it, this stupid diet I am on prohibits the potatoes.  Curses curses curses. I am trying really hard to follow the diet.  I really want the diabetes to reverse and I really want the autoimmune hepatitis to go back into remission, so I have really followed the diet. (That is a whole other blog).  I told Art, I want to really enjoy this week so I am not going to worry about the diet this week but I just couldn't order the potatoes. Maybe as the week goes by I will fall off the diet wagon but it wasn't tonight.

Time to turn in.....it was an early morning and I need my rest.....we have some super fun things planned for this week........I am such a lucky girl.
