Before Audrey and I head off for a three week roadtrip next weekend I’m working some fairly ridiculous hours to try and get everything finished at work – leaving the house at 7AM and staying at the office until after 7PM sort of blows. Add in a trip to the gym and days have literally been sleep – work – gym – one hour of lounging – repeat; vacation will be a very good thing.
Despite the crazy hours there were two adventures this month. Early in the month I went to Phoenix to visit Aaron. The plan had been naps & chicken, but after getting chicken burritos naps were tossed aside and we went to Dave and Buster’s to play games and then spent the following evening lounging at the bar at the Desert Ridge Resort. The following weekend Audrey and I hopped on the Marina del Rey Flyer and spent two nights with her mom and step-dad in Two Harbours on Catalina Island. The amount of napping on this trip went above and beyond what could be considered reasonably by any normal person.
The plan for the coming week is to work to the point of collapse, rest on Saturday, and then head to San Diego Sunday for a friend’s wedding before traversing the desert, making a pass by the Grand Canyon, and then heading through Utah and up into Wyoming towards Yellowstone and the Tetons. Audrey has never been to Yellowstone and I haven’t been in nearly ten years, so we’re both pretty excited to visiting the Cowboy State.
