In April Doug and Matt were supposed to have a "man-cation" road-trip to southern California. But Alyssa's friend Stacey just moved down there so Lys invited herself on the drive. The rule was she could come if she sat in the back and didn't talk. That lasted about ten minutes.
Alyssa hung out with Stacey and Cody and did a lot of baby holding/playing with their two little ones. Doug and Matt meanwhile resumed the mancation; Wii ninja battles, dinner with the family, bow tie shopping, movies, and long walks on the beach sipping hot drinks and talking about our life plans were the highlights from the Man trip. For some reason though we didn't take very many pictures, oops. We were all pretty excited for some warm sunny weather, but it was in the fifties in Cali while Salt Lake was in the mid-seventies.
Lunch out on Ocean Side pier. Notice the pelican on the left is getting a little fresh and leaning in.
Last Monday Dave and Doug headed for the mountains to do some trail Reconnaissance/warm up hiking. Our hour and a half easy going hike ended up being a four-five hour serious hike. With some bad sunburns and tired legs we returned to civilization and had a smash burger.

Resting my legs.
We ended up hitting a lot of snow and had to finally turn back down. Can't wait to get back up there.
Did you tell that pelican you had a woman already?!? You sly dog, you.. The pelicans around here don't even come close to people??
ReplyDeleteYeah for mancations!!! You should take one once a month and bring Alyssa down here so we can hang out all the time! That would be A.MAZ.ING.
