Last weekend Jared turned 31 and since he worked so hard this fall and didn't really get a good break over the holidays (too many events) I thought it would be a good idea to surprise him with a getaway weekend where we could relax but didn't have to travel much.
He didn't know anything about where we were going. I picked him up a bit early from work and we drove down to Half Moon Bay to stay on the beach. It was the most perfect weekend. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and it was 65-70° the entire time.
Here is our hotel by moonlight.

As soon as we checked in we headed out for a brief walk.
Then we returned to change for dinner and found complimentary strawberries dipped in chocolate for Jared's birthday. Little did they know I brought my own strawberries that I dipped in chocolate for Jared. Mine were better.
Jared getting comfy:)
The next day we casually got ready (of course Jared went out for a run first) then wandered around downtown Half Moon Bay.
Found some random shops.
And a kite store. Jared bought himself a kite for his birthday.
View from our room.
Another shot of our hotel.

We sat on the beach for a while and read until I got uncomfortable and then headed back to our room to change and go swim some laps. Then we drank hot chocolate and watched the sunset while being serenaded by a bagpiper.
I got some relaxing in also!
