valentine's day

(^^our one picture together)

daron and i did a quick day date for lovers holiday. i had originally planned for us to hike potato chip rock since it's been on our to-do list for years but then daron gently reminded me that i am winded after walking up the stairs these days, ha! he also reminded me how i was having trouble walking from the beach to our car the night before due to some intense round ligament pain. i came to my senses and realized the all uphill 3 hour hike may not be as fun as i was picturing...?? seriously though, thank goodness for him, right?! 

we decided to have brunch at a place in la jolla called brockton villa. the food reminded us of the brunches we had in new york it was that good! the plan was to do the coast walk in la jolla after and then head home. but after about 50 yards of walking i was done (and really laughing to myself about my original idea). we plopped down some chairs at la jolla cove and people watched. 

so entertaining. 

i kept telling daron we had to go and he would say, "wait, no no, just one more rescue." 

once home, we opened the door to a smiling, giggling carter who gave us about 37 hugs each. i don't think we have ever had someone watch him in the day that wasn't family. he is mostly babysat at night so he is sound asleep when we come home and doesn't see us again until morning. i think he was in disbelief that we came home to him before his bed time.

i love my valentines...

and **happy (belated) valentine's day!**
