We started our weekend with a little get away to France… by France I mean The Bleu Boheme which is this charming French restaurant down the street. Think rustic wood beams, stone walls and candle light. It was Austin’s idea to take me out so I could wear the new dress he bought for me. I have been DYING to wear it! For about a week and a half, I was putting it on everyday after I came home from work just so I could twirl around in it a few times. Yes, I am aware this makes me a bit pathetic… but I digress. The food was delicious except for the shrimp I found staring back at me. Someone please explain to me why the more you pay for food the more difficult it is to eat. Here I am in my new dress prying various types of sea food from their shells. I think the waiter thought I was ridiculous when I started tearing apart my shrimp, which to my dismay still had feelers and eyeballs. It is difficult to act like a lady when you are reduced to tearing, prying, and dismembering your food before you can eat it! Other than that the atmosphere was romantic, the food was delicious, Austin was charming and the dress was beautiful so all in all it was a great night.

Today we continued the fun with an early morning hike/exploration of the Cabrillo National Park. We scampered around the tide pools for a bit then headed up to the light house. Many of the wildflowers are in bloom so the air was full of a sweet floral scent. After our excursion, we had a relaxing lunch on the bay at the restaurant we went to on our first date, The Fish Market. It has been a wonderful weekend together and it isn’t even over! Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone!
