Thanks, Disneyland.

A while back, Gordon received a form saying that someone was suing Disneyland for not giving their employees proper breaks. In order to get a cut of the settlement, he had to fill out a form with his name and address and stuff. We were unsure if anything would ever come of it, but he decided that he might as well fill it out anyway. Well, months passed by and we didn't receive anything, but the other day Gordon got a check in the mail for several hundred dollars! YAY! Thank you, Disneyland!

We decided that since we didn't end up going to Vegas, we would go away to the beach for a night. So on Friday I picked up some good champagne and bourbon (Knob Creek for Gordon. I personally do not like bourbon). We got a room right on the beach with a view of the Channel Islands Harbor. The balcony of our room was SO close to the water that we could literally toss a rock into the water! We at dinner at the Aloha Steakhouse in Ventura. It was delicious! It was so nice to get away for the night. We were supposed to go Whale Watching on Saturday morning, but because of the wind, our trip was canceled. It was a bummer, but we will definitely go another time! I think that being able to go on vacations alone together is my favorite part of being married! The novelty has not worn off! It was relaxing weekend!

This is us being sad because whale watching was canceled.
