Pacified by the Pacific

Top ten reasons this is going to be the best anniversary ever:

1. Our adorable pregnant daughter drove us to the Akron airport at 4 a.m.--in her pajamas. Any trip that inspires that level of devotion has got to be good.

2. That wild-and-crazy husband of mine didn't bat an eye when the Thrifty rental car dude suggested that we upgrade to something a little more festive--like, say, a Mustang convertible. Which we did. (!)

3. Peacocks. On the wall. In our room at the cutest B&B in Encinitas.




4. Not to mention a hot tub. On our balcony. With a view of the ocean.

5. Yes, that ocean. There's a reason they call it the Pacific.


6. Hummingbirds! All over the place!


7. Eating fish tacos on the beach.

8. That bossy seagull trying to chase away all the other birds eager to share in the scraps of our fish tacos.

9. Plus a whole bunch of other birds I don't recognize. Time to bone up on those west-coast species.

10. Have I mentioned that wild-and-crazy husband of mine?  Thirty years tomorrow! And here's to another 30!

Oh, I am SO jealous! That looks like perfection!

(The blue one is a Scrub Jay, as you probably know. But I love Scrub Jays. They're right up there with my favorite birds.)
