We anchored in the harbor. This was a sailboat behind us.

Vacation

Tomorrow Brette and I are headed to Newport Beach to visit Mike. In case you don't know who Mike is, he was married to our mom for about 10 years. When they got divorced, he moved back to California. Part of the time he lives on his boat "Gotta Lime" and the other part of the time, he lives in Palm Springs. So...we're flying out there tomorrow and staying on the boat for the weekend. I can't wait!

For Gayle (and anyone else who's curious)

The Valentine's Gift Exchange that I participated in was orchestrated by my friend Jennifer. She had everyone that was interested in participating e-mail her and give her their mailing addresses. After the entry deadline, she paired people up and sent everyone the name and address of their match. We then mailed a Valentine's Day treat to that person that was $10 or less and posted a picture of the gifts on our blogs.

Fun!

What Happens...

when you travel without packing warm clothes? You get to wear the largest thing in your girlfriend's closet, which happens to be a sweatshirt with her name on the back. Poor guy!
