Morgan was off on Friday because his unit went 100 days without an alcohol-related incident. I find it funny but I forget that there are 600 men in his unit and most of them are still in their early 20's. So, good job Marines! It also meant mommy got to go to Target alone!! It's always nice to get those special occasions. I got a few organizers for our office. Our office in this new house, is in our "mud room." Meaning that it's open for all to see. Which also means when people come over I can't just shut the door if it's a little messy :) So, I needed to get organized! let's hope Morgan can keep it that way!
So, in my quest for staying fit I thought it would be a great idea for us to go hiking. Morgan thought there was a really cool spot but it kind of ended up being a bust. It was one little hill and then looped back to a main road. But, we did stumble upon this really cool kid park called, Courtney's SandCastle. It's kind of amazing! We did not have this when I was growing up. I like it because it's for children of all ages and there are a lot of interactive tools for play. Did I mention there's a pirate ship!! And we noticed that they are still in phase I and starting on phase II soon. What could they possibly add. Needless to say, Madeleine had a fantastic time!!! She knocked out in the car on our way to lunch.
This might be a weekly outing!! I'm all about wearing that child out!

Sunday we found a trail that Morgan had actually hiked several times before. And can I tell you.... if you want to realize how you are in "not the best shape" go hiking!!!!! We hiked the Cristianitos trail, here in San Clemente. I will state that it has been a good 3 years since I've done a good hike so it kicked my butt! And can I just say that I was pushing the jogging stroller!! Yes, I'm bragging! (Morgan hiked with a 40 lb pack. <eye roll> Whatever he's a marine!) There was a point that I was sure he took me on this trail so that I would die and the coyotes would eat me. Yes, I told him this and he laughed. Not very comforting! Have I mentioned that I'm not very "outdoorsy." I was convinced that a mountain lion was going to pop out and eat us. But, I survived and we are going back next weekend. I'm a glutton for punishment!
After what felt like 12 days of hiking (really only 1.5 hours), we went to grab brunch at Cafe Rae. It reminded me a little of Kerbey Lane, in Austin. Great staff , service and food!
This chick was hungry after that long hike she did <eye roll>
She really made herself at home! Who are her parents and why does she have no manners!?!?!?!?
Well, that's all I got and I'm going to go watch the Golden Globe Awards...it's 5:00pm! I'll never get used to this West Coast time!!!!!
