Valentine’s Day started with the most perfect sunrise over the mountains.  Yes we were up at sunrise, that is how we roll.  No matter what we did we were up early every day!

We drove up to La Jolla and walked around a bit.

Wanting to jump in the car and just drive we decided just to see where we ended up.  (I look thrilled, huh?)

Well we ended up at a mall in La Jolla because C had to pee.  But it wasn’t quite 11am and the stores weren’t open.  We looked for a rest room but ended up walking back out into the parking lot.  Across the parking lot was a Crate and Barrel and I saw a couple come out.  So we hurriedly made our way over there.  We saw the workers standing at the door and we looked at each other like , are we ready to deal with salespeople?  But by this time we both had to pee (lots of coffee will do that) so we sucked in a breath and pasted a smile on our face.  As we walked in they told us to grab a registry gun and to help ourselves.

Help ourselves?

We had walked into an engagement promotion at Crate and Barrel.  I slipped off my wedding band and left my engagement ring on (something I only wear when we go on vacation because normally it just gets in my way).  I asked C to take his off but he didn’t believe me that all the people in there were engaged couples.  As we mocked shopping we ran across mimosas, strawberries and chocolate, waffles, cupcakes, pancakes and more.  It was awesome because we hadn’t yet had breakfast!

After we used the restroom and gotten some mimosas we were looking at furniture.  I unnerved impressed C with my quick skills of fibbing our engagement and wedding date (as he kept his left hand in his pocket).  When we left he was like I didn’t know you could lie like that!  It was fun to pretend for awhile.

Afterward we headed into San Diego where we wondered around San Diego Harbor.  C had wanted to join the navy so we bought tickets to the USS Midway.

Got some Valentine’s Day sushi, where C actually used his chopsticks (even if he cheated a little)

Checked out the Star of India

(C has cooler pictures of this on his camera)

Watched the sunset over the harbor

And back at the condo he was cracking me up while we ate the pizza we  ordered

It was a really good day and classic C and M style.  Low key and trying to avoid crowds of people.
