ok, so I finished my post and tried to publish it, and the computer froze on me...do I possess some kind of virus in my fingers where I damage electronics?! Well, the rest of the pics didn't take, so there is the hot chocolate. Then we went to Horton Plaza and saw Breaking Dawn part 1. It was so wonderful and I am grateful David enjoyed it! Then we headed to our next hotel that used to be a mansion owned by the former owner of the Hotel Del Coronado. Ironic that now his mansion is a competing hotel. We stayed in one of the mansion rooms and was it BEAUTIFUL! A king size bed with fluffy pillows, a feather bed, and a down comforter. It was really cold so I was grateful for all of those things! In the afternoon they serve herbal tea, lemonade, and gingersnaps. We grabbed some of that, and I sat on the bed and read books from our tablet. That was for sure one of my happiest moments...it was so peaceful and quiet in that room. The chamomile tea made me feel so cozy, and as a mom to two noisy BOYS, I felt very girly :-) That night we ate at a great restaurant right next door to the hotel. Happy moments!
Tuesday: this morning we woke up by having breakfast delivered to our door on a tray. We ate breakfast in bed, read the newspaper they gave us, watched some of the morning shows ( and I didn't have to pause it and go back to hear what the people were saying like I do at home! LOL) That room was just so lovely and I am so grateful for the good night's sleep! Poor David woke up feeling sick so we skipped our scheduled trip to the temple and walked across the street to the Hotel Del to get some fresh sea air...and I did some shopping :-) David sat out on the patio and got some quiet happy moments while I found Christmas gifts galore!
We headed home and picked up the boys at my dad's work. When Connor saw me he yelled "Mama!" and came running and ran into my arms...SUCH a great moment! It was good to be back and we all came home and took naps today. We had a nice family dinner together tonight and I think we were all a little bit kinder and happier during our bedtime routine tonight. It is nice to get a break from reality once in a while. Tomorrow I get my next X-ray and find out if I have to have another surgery. I pray I don't, but I am at peace with whatever decision is made. I have found a way to find happy moments in each day...despite some days being BEYOND crappy. Thankfully, the last three days have been wonderful, and I am happy to have had that. :-)
