Speaking of needing a little sun...

January 2nd was our 1st anniversary so we decided to head for warmer fun in the sun. We made a road trip out of it. We headed down to Vegas and stayed with our cousins Whit & Holly for a night. It was quick, but fun to see them and catch up. Of course I forgot to take any pics dang it. Then we made an unusually long trip west to So. California. The day after New Year's was a bad day to choose to go and we had no idea the traffic we would face. A typical 4 hour trip took almost 8. We stayed with my good friend from highschool Pam and her cute family. She married a Huntington Beach boy named Paul so she lucked out and they are living the beach life in a cute condo they bought with their baby girl Payton. We did our usual HB activities, Wahoo's, shopping and of course the beach and pier. We even made a little time to go to Lynnie's house for Sunday dinner and caught up with her too. After that it was up HWY 1/PCH to Pismo Beach for our vacation. The drive was either breathtakingly beautiful or way ghetto. It was fun to go HWY 1 though instead of the main 101 that is off the beach and farther inland. We are in LOVE with Pismo Beach/San Luis Obispo area. In fact we went and looked at houses for sale just for fun:) We forgot what it was like driving with the windows down feeling the sun shine on your arm while it warms the car. We forgot how it feels to smell the beach wind while eating yummy authentic Mexican food outside. We also forgot what it was like to have nothing on our agenda but hanging out together.

If you scroll back to our honeymoon, the pictures are very similar because we got to stay in the same hotel resort called The Cliffs. We love this place. The workers are so nice, the rooms are too but the view and the grounds are the best part.
