This is the first weekend that Jon didn't have to work (WOO HOO!) so we got PLENTY of quality time together. Ha, ha, ha. I laugh, because I swear I'm cursed! Okay, I'm not cursed, but I am one of THE most forgetful people I've ever met. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Needless to say, this always creates road bumps, interesting trips, and funny stories. The Lord KNEW I needed someone with tremendous amounts of patience, or at least the ability to keep his mouth shut, smile, and go with the flow.
Friday we saw The Avengers! I wasn't sure I wanted to see it, but Jon could hardly wait (and as bad as movie theater popcorn is for you, I am a sucker for it!). So off to the movies we went. Again. The movie theater has been a popular date night for us because there are way too many extremely delicious (and fresh food) restaurants in Davis, downtown is always fun and charming to walk around, and the movie theater is convenient. By the time we're both off of work on the weekends, there's not much left for us to do!
Anyways, The Avengers. I LOVED it. This past week, Jon made me catch up on the superhero movies that I had NOT seen so that I could go see it. Even if you haven't seen them all (Iron Man/Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America) the movie is still great entertainment. Unless of course you don't have a sense of humor or any sort of appreciation for your childhood (or never had a brother!). :)
Saturday we headed for the foothills in Auburn...
After a beautiful (and windy) trip, we arrived at our hiking spot that Jon had carefully planned out. As I'm digging through my bag to get my hiking boots on, I quickly figured out that I left my socks at home. Of course. ONLY me. So, back into town we went. Poor Jon. Not only does he have to deal with my constant forgetfulness, he gets motion sickness when the temperature changes (I am NOT kidding...I didn't believe him...but it really happens). You can't imagine how he felt after 2 windy trips into and out of the mountains :( He's a trooper though and onto the trails we went...after of course we saw a bear cub run across the road in front of us...look closely, yes, that's his rear.
We got to see Foresthill Bridge...the highest bridge in the state of California, and the 4th highest in the United States.
And finally we made it to the trail...what a stud muffin!
Yes I know, super sexy.
Two weeks until I'm back in Iowa! Hope you all had a great weekend and got to celebrate a special Mom in your life ;)
Glad your back lady :)!!!! Loved the hiking pics they are beautiful and made me a bit jealous ---and yes you are SO forgetful, but we love you for it
