valentines day & my birthday. I took the day off of work to make this a 4-day weekend. I woke up and felt like it was my duty to snap a picture as a 28 year old maintaining my hygiene. I went to the mailbox and got some nice cards from family members, went to the gym for a bit, got the second balloon of my two digit age (they didn’t have a 2?), got back and made some big omelets, packed for the weekend and hit the highway smack in congested traffic. Oh well, it was great fun rolling at a runners pace through Los Angeles and Malibu half the way up to Ojai.
My girlfriend and valentine, Mia, booked a very nice room for the weekend and reservations at a restaurant there at the Ojai Valley Inn. Dinner was excellent and when the bill came it didn’t, the waitress told us that Mia’s family covered the dinner as a valentines/birthday gift. It was super nice, I was actually speechless. Above is our view from where we sat outside in a covered and heated patio.
