Brandon and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on June 9th. We took our first weekend get-away as parent's over the weekend. We put Bailey to bed thursday night at my parent's house
then drove to San Diego for 2 nights and 2 days all to our selves!
When we walked into our hotel room we were surprised to find a bottle of wine, a cheese board with apricot, bread, honey, and fog cheese laid out all nice. We figured this was some crude trick of the hotel to get an extra buck but then we noticed a card made out to "Mrs. Douglas." So, Brandon called the front desk and learned that Mrs. Douglas moved rooms and received new wine and cheese. Brandon then asked, "well, can we have it complimentary then?" They said YES. We were seriously super excited to get such a "hook-up." So, we sat looking out our window at the bay and the down town area of San Diego while drinking wine and eating delicious delicacies. Great start to a very nice and relaxing weekend. Thank you Mrs. Douglas!
Friday we attempted to sleep in, however, our body clocks are set to "Bailey time" so sleeping in past 7:3o am is impossible. I actually was up much earlier because it was weird not having Bailey near me. I was up at 6:30 am and so I snuck out of our room, walked to the nearest starbucks, got coffee and breakfast, and went back to surprise Brandon. It was wonderful to have slow lazy mornings.
We then took our bikes all over the town. We rode up through the Gaslamp Quarter to Old Town. We ate super yummy mexican food in Old Town and Brandon thought it would be fun to have the Meriochi band serenade us. It's like the longest 60 seconds of your life while three guys loudly sing and play music in a different language in your face; but when it is all over, it makes for a humorous memory.
The rest of the weekend was spent lounging by the pool, eating dinner in the Gaslamp Quarter, an early morning run by the bay, taking the troller tour all over San Diego and visiting Coronado Island and Balboa park. It was fun to feel "young" and spontaneous again but by saturday afternoon we really missed Bailey and could not wait to kiss her face.
