Reasons to vacation with friends

Reason #1:
If we did not vacation with friends, we would not have had someone ELSE shop, cook and clean for us. That would have been quite unfortunate. (Thanks, Jaz!)

Reason #2:
To meet affable Junk Droel (uh, he may not have been the only one partaking a wee bit, hence the name.).

The sporting of Mrs. Potato Head's earring was BEFORE any adult beverages were consumed. Oh yeah.


Reason #3:
We got to go on a date! Kidless!

Because Justin's a major history buff, we went to the Something Something Mission. Justin and my former history teachers are sure to have me flogged. It's the largest mission in California. Or America. Or the world. Maybe just the county. I was totally paying attention.


This was some guy, maybe a priest or a friar who, uh, did something at some point.

Us shortly after discussing the relevancy of the aquaducts and uh, the uh, super cool basket weaving (which is actually super cool).

Us again right before we learned who that guy was. You know, the guy in the statue. Who shall remain nameless. And informationless. Because, uh, he was private like that.

We followed this outing with a lunchdate at a one-of-a-kind local hotspot, Mimi's Cafe. The Blue Cheese & Walnut salad must have had some sort of mind control that came over me. It didn't even have a view of the ocean. Stick with us: we know how to par-tay. At least we totally made out in the backseat on the way back like a couple of love-sick teenagers. Really (shaking head, wondering why we didn't...).

Great pictures! You're so beautiful!! We're talking about taking a trip with friends this winter, with kids, and I'm way excited. No historical sites for us.

I think you should write a book. I would totally read it. You're really funny.
