Just Us Girls Weekend June 2010

After what must have been a year or more of talking about a trip, we finally packed our bags!
Although, it was a long car ride, it was fun. Cambria seemed a million miles away. I guess I took the scenic route, ha ha!
Raquel and Michelle on the road at last!
Here we are (finally) in our hotel room. Not looking like the pictures on line AT ALL! Oh well we weren't here for the luxurious accommodations. We were here to catch up with each other and to take
a break from our busy schedules.
Our view from the little patio off of the room.
After breakfast on the first morning, we took a walk along the coast. I quickly realized that it was mostly couples here, not exactly your typical 'girls fun weekend away' locale. I didn't care. I was relaxing after a very tough few months of closing my business. This was the perfect place to get some peace.


Here is my foot...I was trying to be artistic. :)
Karen joined us at the beach later that day. She drove down from the San Francisco area to get in some girl time too! So wonderful. I wasn't always the best friend, these two (plus some others) really got me during my learning stage as I think of it now. I didn't know how to appreciate and really care about people/friends back when I was a teen and young adult. I am so thankful for the second chance in life with so many.
Us three after a few glasses of wine and dinner and a few glasses of wine and did I mention we enjoyed some drinks! Karen is a really cool person. She has such fun stories to share and when she talks about her daughter she absolutely lights up!
Raquel really still to this day (even though we were apart for a good 8 years maybe??) knows me better than just about anyone. She reads me like an open book. I love her for that! Soetimes I think she knows what I am going to say before I say it. I am sure she just has the knack for reading people, not only me.






more landscape shots...
Raquel looking all beautiful, standing in the flowers and enjoying some coffee.
You can't really tell but it was a bit chilly even though it was JUNE! 

Great time! Thanks girls for the fun road trip! Let's do it again!!!
