A Wonderful Road Trip to San Francisco
Both Jenn and I in the last year have started working full time after finishing up our bachelor degrees at UC Irvine. Working full time is a huge blessing, it means we have a steady paycheck, and can start saving up for our future together. The negative side of it is that we have less time to be spontaneous and less of a chance to just get away whenever we want. Luckily we had some amazing planned spontaneity when we took a few days off along side Veterans Day. What was great about taking this time off is that we had no plans what so ever for this 5 day weekend. On Veterans Day we decided to keep it close to home and figure out what to do from there. When Jenn and I walked over to Fashion Island for lunch I brought up the idea of a road trip we immediately spent lunch on our iPhones surfing Kayak for deals on hotels. We ended up going with a road trip up to San Francisco for 3 nights and 4 days.
Just Got Back From A Weekend Getaway at Indian Wells
Jenn and I both have been ready for a vacation for quite sometime, and so we took a quick over night trip to Indian Wells about an hour drive from where we now live. This weekend they had the Indian Wells Tennis Tournament or now known the PNB Paribas Tennis Tournament that we were going to try and attend when we were down there. So a little back story for those who don't personally know me or who haven't followed the blog for a while I used to go to Indian Wells every year with Jenn and her parents but that hasn't happened the last few years. Jenn and I have our honeymoon in September but were looking for some quicker trips to help us relax on the weekends while we wait for the big day! So Jenn started searching for places to go and poof she finds a great deal to go Indian Wells for a night so we booked a night in a two bedroom villa at the Hyatt Grand Champions . So we left pretty early on Saturday morning around 9am to try and hit some early matches but when we drove up we saw a big sign saying "Saturday Day Session Sold Out". We have never bought tickets early so we never even though we would have to buy tickets before hand, but needless to say we called and they confirmed they were sold out for the day session. So we went to our hotel only a minute or two from the Indian Wells Tennis Gardens. So we drove there and checked in and confirmed our room and were told they would call us when it was ready.
