Port Townsend and a mini vacation!

I waited too long to try and get someone to cover my shift on Monday (I started like a week in advance) so everyone who wants to pick up shifts had already picked up shifts from someone. I put myself on the cut list (which means I could either not have to go in, get put on standby to come in after 4 hours, have to work the first 4 hours of work then get cut, or they need me so I work the whole 8 hours). I ended up getting put on standby and got no call by 5:45pm so Paul and I headed to Port Townsend for our two night stay!!

We got to our room a bit before 8, took everything up three flights of stairs (the building was from the 1800's so it had no elevator). We then made a quick trip to Safeway for some dinner. Dinner of a sub sandwich and Bagel Bites and sweethearts. Health food? RIiiight, this was our vacation. I had brought some popcorn from home too so we made that.

We went to bed by 11 (I wouldn't have even been off of work by this time) and I got the most awesome night of sleep. We had a king size bed, so I did wake up a few times wondering where Paul was...and he was just two feet to my right...haha. We woke up at 6:30 to watch the sunrise and then woke up at around 8:30am for the day. It was super sunny, gorgeous, and almost 60 degrees!

We had a gorgeous view of the bay from our room, which was awesome. We had an even better view from this cute little coffee place across the street. This place seriously had the best coffee and breakfast roll up ever, and I wouldn't just say that. The roll up had ham and eggs inside and the outside was made of sweet wheat something. Oh man how I need that recipe. I had a caramel latte and it was heaven. Pure yummy.

After breakfast Paul and I walked all around Port Townsend and looked in all the cute shops (which don't open till 10:30 or 11). I had my polar fleece on and got warm, it was so awesome. There are so many cute shops and old buildings, I kept making Paul stop so we could take more pictures.

We had recieved a subway giftcard for Christmas from one of my Aunt's so we stopped and had a nice free lunch! The view was amazing, not your average Subway.

We went to a little park, Chezamocha Park, and they had the most beautiful baby flowers. I can't wait for spring!!

More walking around town. I realized I am hardly ever in pictures because I am always the one taking the pictures, so on this mini vacay I kept saying "Paul take a picture of me here, and here, and here..." haha.

We seriously lucked out with the weather. I could have stayed outside ALL day long.

More walking, more awesome old buildings, more holding hands. :)

Our room (bed not made) with the sun streaming in. I love sunshine, big windows, and the king size bed. I took an hour nap in the afternoon!

After I woke up from my nap I ate some caramel apple, and let me tell you it was good.

For dinner we went to an Asian place by the hotel, it was not too great. I think Paul and I are spoiled with all the awesome Asian food over here and should have never tried to go to one in all all white person town. Not a good idea.

After dinner we went for some homemade ice cream, I got gingersnap and Paul got Oreo ice cream. I love all the yummy food and eating out that vacation gives!

And last but not least we went to Hudsons Cafe for breakfast. We both got scrambles and yumm, best food I have had at a "greasy spoon" kind of restaurant. Mine had bacon, mushrooms, eggs, cheese, bell peppers, and probably more that I don't understand!

We left the restaurant at 11 and got home at a little before 1pm. We had some very happy kitties waiting for us. :)

And that was our vacation. On tuesday I got a call from working asking me to pick up shifts on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, I picked up Saturday so I am working all my hours this week but still got a three day vacation. Best deal ever even though I procrastinated.

I am loving life.
