Babymoon

Since I have this week off (Fall Break), Jeff and I decided that we should take some time and enjoy one last getaway before our lives change completely. The timing worked out nicely as Jeff had his last wedding of the year the previous weekend and definitely deserved some R & R. Between working like a dog and processing the costs of two little ones, he's been under "a little bit" of stress.

Our vision of the getaway was "relaxation". So we stayed at an adorable Bed and Breakfast in the middle of the countryside of San Luis Obispo. We enjoyed a delicious home cooked breakfast each day and a wine (apple juice for me)/ appetizer happy hour at sunset. The Inn only had two rooms and we met a very nice couple who are in the process of planning a wedding. Between the local wineries nearby and the lively downtown (which had a record store and a used book store right next to each other- an easy way for us to kill a couple hours), we had a lots to do during the day. We slept a lot and watched some of our favorite movies. We attempted a game of Scrabble in front of the fireplace, but Jeff had enjoyed the wineries a little too much and we didn't get past the third round.

On the way home we stopped at an apple orchard in the middle of nowhere. We did some apple tasting and who would have thought that there were so many varieties of apples! We stopped in Avila Beach for lunch and then headed back home to reality!

Here are some pics of our trip:

Here is my 18 week belly pic! (Yes, the halfway point!!) I am standing right in front of the Bed and Breakfast.














Here is TigerLily- the official greeter of the Bed and Breakfast. She was so sweet and waited for us every morning on the back deck to get her daily rub!
















Ahhhh, cozy nights by the fireplace!!




If anyone is looking for a great place to stay off the beaten path in San Luis Obispo, we highly recommend staying at the Bridge Creek Inn!
On another note, last night Jeff was excited to finally feel some of the kicking action that I've been feeling for the last couple of weeks. We have our 20 week ultrasound on Monday where they will be looking closely at their little hearts to make sure all is well. I'm sure all will be fine, but say a little extra prayer for us if you can!
Love to all- Rebeca
