Christmas

Yup, better late than never. For all 3 of you that read this...sorry... The good news is that I've scheduled two more posts to come one week and two weeks later. So for three weeks I'll seem like a good blogger.

Remember how I told you I was going to post about Graham and I's Christmas present to each other?? (Yes, I know that was almost two months ago..) Well here it is.

We drove down the Pacific Coast Highway to San Luis Obispo for the weekend. Unfortunately it rained the whole way down and it was so overcast it was difficult to even see the ocean. Then we went to Hearst Castle for a tour...in the rain. It was a little bit miserable, but we persevered.
This is me at the start of our tour in front of the Neptune Pool. Once a year the docent's get to invite guests and swim here for 2 hours!! It looked like a really fun place to have a pool party!

Graham and I aren't really antique loving people. So the inside of the Castle was less impressive to us. It was however decorated for Christmas which helped it feel warm and homey.
Sorry..no flash photography allowed inside..so this is the best we have.

After the tour we headed into Downtown SLO for dinner at the SLO Brewery (yum!) and then to our hotel for some rest and relaxation. Our hotel room even had a gas fireplace which was a perfect way to get cozy and dry after being out in the rain all day!

It wasn't the grandest of trips or presents but since Graham had been in class all semester and not getting home until 10pm, it was really nice just getting to spend some quality time together.
