The Loveliest 15-hour Stay-cation Ever

[goodolmike]

Just after work, I got a text from Mark.

Mark: I just booked us a hotel room.
Mike: For when?
Mark: Tonight! AC and a pool.

It has warmed up here in Sunny San Diego. And I haven't had a good night of sleep in days. So, out of sheer spontaneity, Mark booked us a room a few miles from our house.

"Hey Baby, wanna spend the night?"

It was excellent, because it really felt like we were on vacation. After checking in, we headed straight for the pool.

The pool was lovely. I think that was the first time I'd been swimming all summer. If Dave gets the place he's looking at, which has a pool, Mark and I are totally moving in.

A bit later...
To continue our stay-cation, we went to a steakhouse that we had never been to. It added to the illusion that we were out of town.

Hunter Steakhouse was delicious. A four-course Prime Rib dinner for $20. FTW. I took pictures, but they came out way too dark. (I need an iPhone 4.)

After dinner, we soaked in the hot tub a bit and eventually cooled off in our nice, little air-conditioned room.

This morning, I was off to work. Mark got to sleep in a little. Actually, he may still be there (jealous). I told him to go for a morning swim.

Ha ha. We did not. But we left the fans on and our house gets a good breeze.
I saw Smokie when I was leaving the house, and I was like, "Sorry, baby."

Buster sits on the arm of the sofa when we're gone so he can scold us with a MEEEEEEOW when we come through the door.

He's normally very much a lap cat, but not last night!
