5 years ago I married my sweet amazing husband. It has been the best 5 years! I was in charge of planning our 5th anniversary (we switch off every year) and I decided it would be so much fun to surprise him with a trip back to where we took out honeymoon! Unfortunately for me, I am not good at keeping secrets, especially from my husband. I had to tell him the dates we were leaving so he could take off work and make sure he had people around to cover while he was gone, so i told him when we were going but not where. Once I told him that I wouldn’t tell him where we were going, he of course was bound and determined to get it out of me. I arranged for grandmas to watch Tatum, and booked the condo with my grandma. I made sure to tell everyone not to mention to DJ where we were going. I started giving him hints, and eventually told him it was between three places, Mexico, Hawaii, and Capitola. A couple weeks later during a conversation I said, “While we are in California…..” and the secret was out. He wasn’t even trying when I slipped! I told you….awful at secrets. We had a blast while we were there and got to see a lot of fun things! I of course took my camera, and DJ let me get as many pictures I wanted as long as they weren’t of him (I snuck a couple in). Here are some of my favorites!
On the first day there we went to this fun little beach, Natural Bridges. It had lots of fun tide pools to look around in and a nice beach.
Day two we took a drive down to San Francisco to see the Golden Gate Bridge and Fishermans Warf! Then that afternoon we had a hung out at the Capitola beach.
Day three we went to the Henry Cowell Redwood State Park. Redwood are crazy tall, and made me feel really really small! If you’ve never seen redwoods in person you definitely need to put it on your list! After the redwoods we went to a movie (because we never go to movies anymore!) We walked into the theater and they had giant chairs that reclined so that you were almost laying down. It was so fun! We also found this really cool lighthouse in Santa Cruz.
