twelve

thankful day twelve;
today i am thankful for
spontaneous get aways with the husband!


we woke up yesterday
and decided to get a hotel
in the nearby city of lynnwood-
it is north of seattle and about 
an hour & half away from home...
it is a place we stay quite frequently
when we want to decompress
and just enjoy some time together.

but, first off i went to the local thrift store
with a friend...it was 50% off day (veteran's day sale)
we had a great time and 
both of us found some awesome deals!
we went straight to the shoes
and i found a fantastic pair of 'beat up'
leather ankle boots that i just ADORE...
i kept saying, how much i loved them! hehe
while we were in the shoes...
over the intercom came a reminder that it was: 
11/11/11 and the time was 11:11
i will always remember where i was that day...
in the shoe dept. finding my awesome boots!!! :) :)

after my little shopping/lunch date with the gal-pal
i picked up the hubbie and we headed for 
our little get away.

this particular hotel has happy hour 
in the evening-with snacks and drinks
and a free made to order breakfast in the morning~

we went to a movie last night
complete with tons of buttered popcorn and skittles ;)

today we are going to drive around,
go to the bookstore, mall and take
a drive on old highway 99

i just LOVE little get aways!

i hope your saturday is just lovely-
that you have time with those you love
and that you can rest in the moment...
life is too short not to enjoy the ride!

shine on!

I've heard the Seattle area is beautiful, sound like a perfect place for a get away. Enjoy Melody Mae.
