'Net withdrawals

So much to type; so little time. I'm finally home from California. I finally have access to the internet. Ahhhh, it feels so good. For the bulk of our trip, I didn't have access to a computer, which seems funny in a way in this e-this and i-that day and age. I did get to check my email from two different laptops on two different days, but there wasn't enough time or privacy to do much more.

Our trip was amazing. I will post all the fun things later, but for those wondering, I did in fact run on vacation. I only managed to run twice, which was my very realistic and doable goal. Can I count walking around Disneyland as a workout?

Here's a short breakdown of the trip, and I'll post day-by-day highlights soon. Some of you probably don't care, but some of you may really want to know. Anyway, all of you should look forward to "The Best Day Anyone Has Ever Had At Disneyland" post. I kid you not on that one. You doubtfully can compete with the day we had.

Monday, 8/13 - drive, drive, drive
Tuesday, 8/14 - drive some more, more and more. Stop at The Joshua Tree National Park
Wednesday, 8/15 - Santa Monica beach and Pier
Thursday, 8/16 - The Grove shopping mall, my run in the Hollywood Hills, and Griffith Observatory
Friday, 8/17 - Venice beach bike rides, run along the beach, and surfing!
Saturday, 8/18 - Dream day at Disneyland
Sunday, 8/19 - Drive up PCH to Malibu, flight home to Austin (arrive 1am)

There was so much we wanted to do and not enough time. My cousin, Dawn, had so many great ideas that the boys would have loved. We just ran out of time for them all. But it was a wonderful trip. I'm glad to be home though. I missed my husband quite a bit. I don't think I want to take a vacation for that long without him again. I think he missed us, too. :-)

Here's a sweet picture for now.
