I was so stressed out last week and you should know I am not a person that gets stressed out. Big time stress. By the time Friday rolled around and Charlie had taken a sharpie to his entire body (not a big deal) and then to the Anthropologie tablecloth Chris bought me for Christmas a year + ago (huge deal) I decided to throw them both in the car, get drive-thru for lunch and put a movie on. I needed to find a happy place. Chris was on day 3 of being out of town, which is not a big deal- it just meant that getting to that happy place was going to take a little more effort.
So we drove up the PCH and took lots of deep breaths. It's so beautiful up there. I love getting out of the city. Our drive was about 2 1/2 hours long, which was good. I felt much better. 
We pulled off at this point, just for a few minutes to take in the view. I had to rush back in order to pick up Henry from school on time. 
Chris is home now & we took a family drive up here again today after school. It was really cold & windy but the children didn't care (plus we stopped at one of my favorite thrift shops up in Oxnard). 
Here's to less stressful days ahead and long drives on the beach (and maybe lunch one of these days at Neptune's Net!)
