my goodness, i've wanted to post about my oh-so-fun weekend in monterey for a week or two, and i keep forgetting!! the one thing i won't forget is the amazing time i had!!

it all started when i made the mistake of telling james that the best meal of my life was at fresh cream in monterey. i believe we were having breakfast together, and right after i left, he made reservations there and at this beautiful spot. that will be the last time i talk about things that cost money!! hee hee!!

but yes, we had such a fun time, and i'm pretty much going to bastardize our time in just a few sentences. we headed up there on saturday with unbelievably warm weather. it was so beautiful when we got there, and we had such a great time walking along the beach for a few hours. after that, we walked across the way to a cute little shopping complex and got some mango sorbet. then, we got all beautified for our incredible dinner!! the drive down was almost too much for me, even though it was only like 20 miles away since i was starving!! i kept thinking all day about the yummy food...hee hee!! i had the filet mignon, since almost all the other dishes i can get regularly at work. hahahahahah!! i actually ended up eating a dark chocolate torte for dessert. i know, me and chocolate, together at last. i think it was extra special because there was a bit of vanilla bean ice cream and reaaaaally yummy raspberry sauce on the side. oh, heaven!!

the next day, we went back to the place we got sorbet and had breakfast at a cute little coffee shop. i love little cafes that also serve up warm breakfast!! hee hee!! there was also a small grocery store across the way, so we ended up getting some yummy food for a picnic lunch. we headed back down to monterey for a little cruise down 17 mile road, and stopped halfway for a picnic on the beach. it was so beautiful on the beach!! the waves were really loud so it drowned out anyone else walking/talking by us and the water was incredibly clear. once we were done with lunch, we headed down the rest of the road and gawked at the gi-normous mansions along the way. it's always fun to dream!! :)

so yeah, i'm totally spoiled by james, but at least i know it, right?? and i'm going to keep my big mouth shut about other things so he can save his money!! all i need is a slurpee and i'm a happy girl!! i promise!! :)

and on a totally random note, if you haven't done it already, go personalize your google page. i love how my theme changes, and there are even easter eggs!! horray!! :)
