surprise.

on my birthday...dec. 21, 2009, i turned 29! (that is sooo old)
and i made a list of 30 things i wanted to do before i turned 30.

i quickly started planning a surprise for jacob.
i wanted to go away for the weekend, just the two of us...
we had never been away by ourselves in over 3 and a half years!

we weren't about to leave a tiny baby at home and then her brother followed soon after...
so here we were with a three year old and a 16 month old...so it was time!

i planned a trip to pismo beach!
this is a special place to both of us because our families went there growing up (when we didn't know each other) and best of all it is where we got engaged!

i made all of the plans and told jacob which way to drive and where we were going...it was so fun for it to be a surprise.

we arrived in pismo and went immediately to splash cafe!
there is always a huge line, but it moves fast.
it was delicious as always.
we went to see the blind side. great movie.
we caught a few waves.
and even ate dinner after 5pm!!!
it was lots of fun to do whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted.
on the way home we saw this!
how is this comfortable??
jacob thought he would try it...
not so easy in a car:)

well one thing is off of the list, number 24!
but i won't lie, i would love to do this again before i turn 30!
