Catch Up

It's been a week since I last updated this thing! I actually got a text message from my best friend, Lindsay, asking why I hadn't updated. I should mention that I talk to that chick at least once a day, if not more. But, at least she's being supportive and keeping me on my toes.

This week has kind of been busy for us. Morgan's uncle, Hugh, came to visit us from Colorado. It's always nice to have visitors but boy does it throw off our schedules. But, it's worth it. Morgan took off the week so he could spend time with him.

On Wednesday they went down to San Diego to go on a fishing excursion. Before they left the docks Morgan sent me the picture below with the following text, "If anything ever happens to you, I will honor your memory appropriately. I love you." My typical response... "Why do I have to be dead to get a boat named after me?!?!" LOL

But, they had fun and caught a few fish and brought them home to cook. Now... I am one of those freaks that is not a fan of any seafood!!! I know, I know, FREAK! I am aware that I live at the coast and get some of the best seafood around but I just can't do it. So needless to say I was gagging when they were cleaning it and cooking it in my kitchen. I opened up almost every window and door I could, to get the smell out! It's just not my thing, people!!

Thursday we all went to Aliso & Wood Canyons Wilderness Park for a hike. I thought for sure we were going the wrong way because we were going through a neighborhood through Laguna. And then all of a sudden we come to the top of the ridge. And it was awesome! These people are lucky! (Side note: as we were driving, the Laguna Beach theme song was going through my  head-- "Let the rain fall down...hahaha. I hope I'm not the only one that remembers that show.)

 I didn't get many pics because I was busy enjoying the gorgeous views. The trail itself is relatively easy and pretty wide, which is great for the trusty B.O.B stroller. This is the only picture I snapped and it really doesn't do it justice.

Other parts of Hugh's visit was spent here in San Clemente and exploring the base with Morgan. I'm pretty sure he will be back soon because he couldn't stop calling this place paradise. And, I couldn't agree more.

As for Miss Madeleine she enjoyed having a visitor. We tried to keep her on her schedule as much as we could. So the times that they were out doing thing we were going to the beach, park, Target and napping. (And yes, Target is a part of her routine!)

She can't get enough of this park...Courtney's SandCastle

Well, the good thing about Hugh's trip is it really didn't make us eat a poor diet. We did eat cheeseburgers from The Rider's Club. I will say these burgers are AWESOME! And they make them right in front of you. They also serve you pickled beets as a side dish. YUMMY. Yeah, I'm the freak that likes beets!

For those of you that don't know, I kind of made a resolution to not drink alcohol for the month of January. Well, that lasted 17 days! I had to have beer with my burger. I'm pretty sure some of my Facebook friends were taking bets!  BUUUUUTTTTT, that doesn't mean it's open season to go booze it up. So, I'm back on track, for now. :)

Well, that's all I got for now. Hope everyone has a great week!
