Feels like 4th of July but it's President's Day Weekend

Oh man, I just had the best holiday weekend I've had in a really long time. I know the weather here is always "good" compared to everyone in the Midwest, but for San Diego, it's been sort of disappointing this winter. We have had lots of rain, it's been a little cool even when it's not raining, and there hasn't been an opportunity to go to the beach in months.

Well, since we both had today off for President's Day and yesterday was Valentine's Day, we decided at the last minute to take a little trip to the Palm Springs area for some R and R and to enjoy the hot weather. The 3 of us left Saturday morning and arrived that afternoon to 80 degree weather and a perfectly blue sky! I have had a relatively easy pregnancy, however my one complaint is that my skin has been soooo horrible. I was so excited to expose my face to the dry desert air, some chlorine, and some sun to zap away the zits, all while relaxing :) It was great! That night we went to a casino nearby to play Bingo! It was so fun...I was a nervous wreck, this wasn't regular get 5 in a row bingo. They had all different shapes you had to get and you had 12 cards going at a time, so it was so hard, haha. Neither of us won, but we both had a great time. By the time Bingo was over, it was already almost 10pm, so we ate a late dinner at a nice restaurant right in the casino, and headed back to our hotel. We woke up, took Diggs on a nice long walk, utilized the pool for a few more hours, and headed back to SD.

Valentine's night, we made a dinner at home. I did a dinner that's colors coordinate with V-Day (like I do with most holidays, hehe)- an app, semi-home made ravioli, and strawberry cheesecake (which by the way is one of my "healthy" recipes and soooo good, ask me for the recipe!). Diggy got some hotdog too. By the time I made all of this, it was about 9:30pm, so we had a late dinner. Adam brought me some beautiful pink roses, and I got him a game we can play that I read about in Rachel Ray Magazine called Life Stories :)

Today we woke up, and to my delight, the weather was BEAUTIFUL. 75 and perfectly sunny. We went to the beach in Coronado for most of the day, then went to happy hour at our favorite spot to get margaritas when it's sunny, they have a nice big patio that the sun hits perfectly . Adam got the marg, I got some Pinkberry on the way :)

It was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable weekends I've had in a really long time.

And maybe it's in my head, but I think 3 days of sun made my skin clear up a little too!
