Open Houses, and a Business Trip

It's been a crazy week, so I'm sorry it's been so long! This past weekend, we didn't do anything because I was so drained from my work trip (I'll get to that a bit later). But, the weekend prior to this weekend, we went down the shore with McGee's family for one night which was SUPER fun and relaxing. I didn't get any pictures of that trip because I was too busy relaxing, but I did get a picture of Guinness after we returned. We had to board him for one night, so when we picked him up he was stressed out and exhausted. He slept for the rest of the weekend!!

My favorite part of this picture is his back foot that's tucked up onto the pillow (at the bottom of the picture)

The day we got back from the shore (Sunday) we went to an Open House that we were super interested in. This house had a creek!!  The house was backed up to a really beautiful creek, and I thought it was AMAZING. The interior of the house wasn't too great, and it was really challenging to get to this house (about 30 minutes away from the highways, and VERY curvy roads!). But the creek was beautiful and I thought it would be super cool to live in a house with that in your backyard!

Can you see the creek in the background? That deck was pretty nice too! 

Here's a close-up of the creek. It was beautiful! The water was moving pretty quickly too (so no stagnant water to worry about!). 

So, this week was my work trip out to San Francisco. It was a really quick trip with very little downtime, so I wasn't able to coordinate a trip up to Sacramento to see my family and friends, unfortunately. I flew to SF on Monday, and flew back on Thursday. The ONE good part of the trip was a dinner cruise that our boss planned as a "bonding" activity for everyone in our group. There were some really beautiful views, and it was a pretty great cruise. The rest of the trip was pretty lame, and a lot of my co-workers are catty and mean... I won't go into details, but I was so happy on Thursday when I was able to leave. It was an exhausting trip, so I pretty much slept all weekend!  

Alcatraz!! It was a very lovely cruise. 

Here was a picture I took on the cruise. SF sure is beautiful!! 

On Sunday I did sorta wake up in time to make brunch for us. McGee made the bacon and coffee (both are VERY important!!), and I made the Cheddar Apple Scones. It was my first time attempting to make scones, and while they may not have been the prettiest scones in the world, they were SUPER tasty, if I do say so myself! The cheddar and apple combo was quite delicious. I tried to take a good picture of them, but I am clearly not a professional food photographer...

This Thursday we are going to go see E.T. at the Hiway Theater (that old theater that we like to go to). I am SOOOO excited to see E.T. on the big screen!!  I'll try to post again very soon!!  I hope you're all doing great!
