two if by sea

don't think i know what your thinking?!?! you dirty birds! haha...but seriously, sorry, to disappoint, there will be no nude surfing pictures ;D maybe another time...hmmm right...hehe. anywho, tom and i woke up early morning friday, hopped in our little bug and drove to an oh so secret spot called bolinas which is about an hour and a half drive from home. why is it secret? who knows but the locals sure as hell don't want anyone to know about it. most of the signs are taken down so you would have no clue about the place but if you do...it is kinda nice.
 before our excursion into the sea tom needed to get some banana fuel and while at the cash register i saw this banana flavored tootsie pop!?!?! it tasted like a banana chip which didn't float my boat so tom got to enjoy it instead, either way i was super excited to see a new flavor.

the waves were perfect and small. they could have used a bit more umph but it was really really fun. it was my first time surfing at this spot and i hadn't been there in 10 years. i think it is my new favorite spot :) HOWEVER, while surfing, we caught a glimpe of a black fin! boy did my heart start racing! but living by the coast and surfing you quickly learn what type of fin to look out for and this was some kind of porpoise but still it still makes you want to run out of the water screaming.
after our session we dressed and walked along the coast enjoying the beautiful beach.

we both were starving so we headed to the marshall store and gobbled up oysters and fish tacos, twas extremely good and hit the spot.

we found a super cheap hotel and plan on making a wonderful weekend by the sea sometime in the very very near future.

our valentine's day adventure!

happy valentines day!!!


i wish you all have a lovely day and are able to surround yourself with LOTS of love! the mister works late tonight so we celebrated with an awesome trip to the coast! saturday started out bright and beautiful and we hopped into gladys and headed out to point reyes which is about a 2 hour drive from where we live. i have always wanted to go to point reyes and this summer we have plans to go on a bike riding camping adventure so it was nice to see what the route would be like to get there! here are some pictures of the hike....the weather was absolutely amazing especially for the coast which can be a hit or miss...lucky us :D

hike was a total of about 3 hours and ended at a beautiful cliff overseeing the beach below. we had a great time giggling and just being silly...it was nice to feel alone together and have time to talk and plus it felt really good to get out and exercise!

the oysters were so yummy we ordered a 2nd round!

we were starving by the time we got back to the car so we took a short drive to a oyster bar and had ourselves some grub! we ate outside and the view of tomales bay was so beautiful. it was the perfect spot for a well deserved meal!

thanks baby for the truly the best valentines day ever!


how are you spending this special day?
