A little rest and relaxation

Austin and I headed out of town on Friday for our much anticipated trip to Half Moon Bay/San Francisco, CA....good thing considering the horrendous flooding situation in Nashville over the weekend!!! Thankfully our house missed the flooding areas...praise God! Austin was fortunate enough to have sold enough cases with Humana health care and so they sent he and I on an all expense paid trip to sunny California. We are staying at the Half Moon Bay Ritz Carlton ...an incredible resort with breathtaking views of the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean...the kind of views that steal your breath and make your realize what an amazing God we have who has created such things with His very hands. Wow! Anyway, it was VERY hard to leave my little boys...I miss them so much already, but they are in great hands with their Nana and Coach this week. So thankful for good hands and kind hearts who are willing to care for my sweet boys this week while Austin and I have a little down time. More to come, but our week is filled with bike rides along the ocean coast, cooking smores over the private fire pit which sits on our balcony, a wine tasting tour of Napa Valley, a trip into San Francisco to explore the city and lots and lots of good eating and full nights of uninterrupted sleep - praise God for that! If only we could get it to warm up here...it's in the low 60's but man can it get cold here when the wind blows off of the water. Since we have been here we have been reminded many a time of Mark Twain's famous quote - "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." Could not be more true! More pictures to come later, but here are a few from our adventure today...
