my valentines day...
I didn't want to do anything all shmoopy goopy romantic for Valentines Day... but I have to admit by the end of the night, I had a very big smile on my face.Instead of the traditional date of a dinner out at a loud restaurant, Rick & I decided to have a little picnic at the beach (his lovely idea, actually :) so nice!). So we picked up some wine, bread, cheese, and olives and headed down to Pacifica to watch the sun set.
See my new scarf? It's from Crackers & Honey!
It was great to get out of town and although a little foggy for any major breathtaking sunset, it was delightful just to be on the beach watching the waves flow in and out while we sipped on our yummy wine. The air was still and peaceful which made it surprisingly comfortable weather... and we enjoyed watching the last few surfers get in their final waves before calling it a night.
Once it started getting dark, we decided to head to our next destination for the evening, but on the way there I spotted a Ross.
Yup, you read it right - Ross the discount store. :)
Ya see, I had left the house Saturday morning thinking I'd be home again in a couple hours, but before I knew it I had spent all day with Bee - and by the time I dropped her off, it only made sense to grab Rick then since I was on that end of the city already. But because we still had to grab food, we found ourselves on a race to make the sunset and there was no time for me to go home!
So when I saw the Ross, it reminded me I didn't have any clean towels at home for when I did go back to shower & get ready - so I thought I'd just go buy a new one quick! Well, luckily Rick agreed nothing could be more romantic than shopping in Ross together on Valentines Day - so there we went!! See my new towel?
Who knew Ross could be so fun!? We tried on some clothes and modeled them for eachother - and because it was Valentines Day, I got to pick out anything I wanted! My date got me a new pair of shoes! woohoo!!
I also got a new tshirt that says "Rickie's Speed Shop" which I wore to the next portion of our date: Bowling!
The Sea Bowl in Pacifica is great. We played two games (I even beat Rick by 2 points on the first game!) and drank a few beers and split a romantic meal of a burger & fries. We had such a great time. Here you can see my fierce concentration as I get ready to bowl a strike! Oh & you can see my new tshirt too :)
I couldn't have asked for a more perfect valentines day. :)
