at the end of the first day of our drive, jay pulled off at a cozy northern california beach town called trinidad. i had wanted to stop at every sign that advertised a scenic lookout, while jay was trying to hurry to get to this town by sunset! we walked a little on the beach and sat on a rock (i was so nervous - by this time i knew what was coming) and jay pulled a ring out of his pocket. he had successfully hidden it all weekend, carrying his little messenger bag everywhere and never letting me near it! we managed to snap a few photos of the spot before our camera and phone batteries died!
it was the most exciting thing that ever happened to us.

a view of the beach from a nearby hill. our camera died literally right after this! |
we were like giddy little children on that trip, and i hope that never goes away.
we spent the end of our trip in san francisco, traipsing all over the city, usually ending up in north beach for coffee, food, and late night beverages.
we got married april 17, 2010, after which we continued our journey down the pacific coast highway from san francisco to los angeles...part 2.
i will reserve wedding photos for another post, but i should say that is how i met fellow slow life blogger, juli, our wedding photographer! juli and her buddy tim snapped some unbelievable photos, and now she is my treasured friend. here is a preview...
A lovely story! thanks for sharing
