Hotel
It was time for a little adventure, so I headed to the beautiful south coast. I decided to stay at a hotel right on the ocean. It was beautiful, and I loved the room:
The floors had radiant heat, so it was quite lovely to walk on them. Also, my house tends to be chilly, which is great in the summer, but less than fabulous the rest of the year. It was nice not to be bundled up.
There was also a fireplace, but no log. The only thing missing from the lovely bathroom was soap:
There was a rainfall shower head, and also a handheld shower. I have often wished for both of those things.
When I went down to the office to notify them of these absences, they asked if anything else was missing. Like it was normal for things to be missing. At least I had the log so I could enjoy a fire later, which I did. There was a balcony overlooking the ocean, where I enjoyed the sunset, along with a glass or two of sparkling wine.
The light through the window as the sun set was really beautiful:
Another small pleasure was realizing that I had forgotten to bring a couple of things, and I could walk to the store next door to get them! It made me feel like I was in a city again, even though all I could hear was the roar of the ocean. The closest store to my house is more than 6 miles away, not exactly walking distance. So it was a super fun novelty. You’re probably laughing about how exciting I found this right about now. I can’t help it. I’m a hick!
In the morning, I had coffee overlooking the ocean, enjoying every moment before hitting the road for an adventure.
Up next: giraffes and zebras!
FIVE YEARS AGO: I was at church. Yes. Really.
TEN YEARS AGO: A surprise wedding. Not mine, I hasten to add.
TWENTY YEARS AGO: A good year.
