Last minute weekend getaway!

 The first weekend in February Mark and I got a little last minute weekend getaway to Encinitas (just north of San Diego) -Thanks to Grandma Stacy for watching our kiddos so I could join Mark on a quick business trip. We stayed in this AMAZING home right on the beach (thanks to a new business partner who owns/owned the place but is now sold).  We took full advantage of the offer to stay there before the house closed escrow :) It was much needed time spent together! The ocean just has something so soothing and relaxing about it and how cool it was to hear the waves all night long! The sunsets were breathtaking and the little town of Encinitas had super fun little shops and amazing restaurants all within walking distance of the house. It's been a while since we have gotten to enjoy such quality time together and we really had a great time walking and shopping the shops, eating super yummy food and just plain relaxing on the patio and soaking up the warm sun and ocean air!  Thanks again Grandma for taking great care of our kiddos and for letting us get the time away!

That place looks awesome! I vote we find one just like it for our next family reunion or girls weekend out.
