jon_chaisson | What I did on my spring vacation (so far) (Reply)

Well, mainly sleeping in until the cats wake us up, but we've been doing various fun things around the area. Today was our trip down the peninsula to Filoli Gardens for a few hours to enjoy their rose garden and other things that are in current bloom. While there I was once again reminded that I would love to own a small bonsai tree but alas I cannot considering the cats would most likely eat it and/or knock it over. Sigh. Regardless, I took quite a few pictures that I should probably put up on my Insta before I forget! It was a nice and relaxing couple of hours down there in slightly warmer weather and away from the overcast skies that lingered over the city. On the way back we did a Costco run to pick up our usual stuff. We like to stock up on meats for future meals, the cheap four dollar rotisserie chicken and whatnot, and this is exactly why I'm still happy we have our own garage (and our own freezer that we keep down there for said stuff).

And tomorrow we're heading up to Petaluma to visit the in-laws and of course visit Copperfields Books as I have a gift card burning a hole in my wallet. Huge nerd that I am, I am looking forward to buying the new edition of the Merriam Webster collegiate dictionary, heh. Other than that, we don't have much else planned other than maybe more gardening (which we also did on Monday after my dentist appointment) and perhaps going out to eat somewhere. Given the travel nonsense going on in the world lately, we've been sticking close to home and that's fine by us. More time with the kitties!

If I can pull it off, I'd still like to do a bit of cleaning/rearranging in the garage storage as I'd planned, considering I have the time and the wherewithal to do it. But other than that, we've been taking it easy.
