No Mini Trip, But Still A Fulfilling Saturday!

Well our mini trip was not much of a trip, we were just planning on going to Big Bear on Saturday morning for all of the snow that hit there on Friday...but we figured that with all that new snow there was bound to be a ton of traffic. 

 Zack had done his fair share of traveling this past week anyway between flying to Utah, teaching the lab there, staying the night, and flying back the next day....to interviewing on Thursday up in Riverside, only to drive home in 3 hours of traffic and rain. We opted out. 

We had intended on taking the pup there to play in the snow. He has seen tons of snow before when we stayed with Zack's family in Utah and he absolutely loved it. Sooo he isn't missing out by not going up to Big Bear for the day. 

        Here are some pictures from two Christmases ago from when we had taken him to Utah for the first time to see snow (Awe so cute, Oak was almost 1 years old....)

Instead we got some serious errands accomplished, I hate errands...they always know how to ruin a Saturday. We went to COSTCO, worst idea on a Saturday....

We got some grocery shopping done there, mostly our bigger purchases like water bottles, nuts, fruit... that kind of thing. Then we went to Ralphs to get more of our Fresh Produce like my favorite Pink Lady Apples (I always have to leave there with a huge bag of them). Then we picked up my prescriptions we had dropped off earlier that morning and came home and got some laundry done. 

Kinda like a mini trip to Big Bear, right? NO. Haha, but that is okay! We love our little family Saturdays even if it is just running to the grocery store. 

Later on we decided to go out and get drinks. Zack got a Manhattan and I had a glass of wine and then we ran over to Vons to grab some candy to go home and watch a movie!

I set up a bunch of blankets on the ground and then we chose to watch Old School, we love that movie. 

Driving to get drinks, Oak came too of course, and slept in the car...he hates waiting at home. 

Zack's Manhattan, him pointing out they chose to put his whiskey drink in something a little less manly ;)

Cozied up to watch Old School with our chosen candies! Jelly Bellys for me and Hersheys Cookies n Cream for him!

I am sure we will head up to the snow one of these days this winter, but maybe not on a day where every snowboarder in California is dying to hit the slopes with fresh snow on them!!!

What did everyone else do this weekend?

Our Week In IPhone Pictures

Happy Super Bowl Sunday Readers!

So we haven't been up to too much lately other than daily life. Zack has packed up his bag today because he is heading out to Utah tomorrow to teach the lab out there. He is gonna stay with his sister and family out there and head back Tuesday afternoon. I drop him off at the airport at 5:15 AM tomorrow, yuck! I always hate when he leaves, but at least he shortened his trip to just overnight! 

Now, I realize this said week in pictures, but I am just gonna start from the end of the week, so Thursday I took Oak for a walk around campus and came home and did my favorite HIIT workout and used my polar watch! I absolutely love this thing, I used to have one when I was running cross country and it is a great way to monitor your heart rate and see how much work you are putting into your workouts, I love working out hard when I work out...so I always get my heart rate up and end up dripping in sweat after them. 

Friday night I my friend wanted to go out for drinks so Zack and I packed up and headed home to San Clemente to stay the night with our families! My friend Britney and I went to a little wine bar in San Clemente called The Cellar. The old bar tender that I used to work with at a restaurant up there was our bar tender and he spoiled us, we were able to try quite a few wines. A great night! We settled on a Paso Robles Red Wine. A wine I am familiar with because Zack sells Paso wines. We had so much fun talking and listening to the live music and enjoying some good wine:). 

 That night we stayed with Zack's parents and in the morning we went to visit my Dad at his house at North Beach in San Clemente. We walked over to a little cafe called Ellie's Table and Zack picked out his lunch and we walked back over to my Dad's and watched the surfer's and enjoyed some lunch!

That day, we spent most of the day shopping for a new suit for Zack and we found the perfect one. He looks sharp in it I might add;)

This Sunday morning, we got up at 6:00 AM and got ready to go on a walk down to the harbor by our house by 6:30 AM. I am so happy it is cold out, but I wish it didn't take our Southern California winter so long to show up! I have already made up my mind that I am ready for summer. Stop teasing us weather! We walked to the harbor and hung out there for a bit and on our way home we stopped at Starbucks and Zack got a Latte and I got a Tazo Green Tea.

I love our weekend mornings together. We love to get our little family out and just be active together and enjoy the day. These are what our dates look like and I wouldn't want it any other way. 

For the most part, today has been chore day, we worked out, did some cleaning around the house, got Zack all packed up for Utah, did some face masks (you know your man does face masks too, don't lie), and now we are gonna head out to sneak in a little shopping. Once we get back I am gonna get some homework done and then we are gonna watch a movie and call it an early night. 

We were invited to Super Bowl Festivities, but this year I think we are gonna hang tight down here.

What is everyone else up to for Super Bowl Sunday?

Be safe!
