a full day's drive.

Hello blogosphere! I sure hope these California recaps are keeping your interest ;) They're fun to pull together because I can relive the trip right along with you! The third day of our trip included the longest drive--all the way from Cambria to Sausalito. We spent almost six hours rocking down the highway, literally and figuratively {we were loving the tunes!}. Though the weather wasn't exactly beautiful, the drive was peaceful--and {cv} was great company! Here's a peek at our day...

After tooling around in a wet Sausalito for a bit, we decided to take a night in. Neither one of us objected. We grabbed some wine and cheese to take back for a picnic of sorts in our room at Cavallo Point, another beautiful hotel we found via Jetsetter. {We used Jetsetter to book the planned portion of our Parisian honeymoon last April before the volcanic eruption so kindly extended our stay. Their recommendations and their customer service in the craziness made them easy to use again!}

We capped off our quiet night at the bar on the hotel property. The night in Sausalito was really a dream. {cv} and I got to just be--and with both of our crazy schedules, that doesn't happen very frequently. Thank goodness for vacations! 

Do you ever take time for a quiet night when you're away?

And before I go for the day, I wanted to pass along a little graphic I made for the nautical-themed Friday's Fancies this week! If the nautical thing isn't up your alley, don't worry...you can create a Friday's Fancies post that suits your fancy! I just know many of you like some prompts to help get your creative juices flowing. As always, if you have any questions, please email me! I promise to be back on top of things after I get through this big day at work :) {prayers welcome!} I also have a fun news item to share with all of you tomorrow..and just to hold off any rumors, I'm not pregnant!

Have a happy Wednesday everyone--and thanks for taking another day trip with me today! xoxo {av}
