David and I haven’t left the county since the pandemic hit but we have a little getaway up north planned for this coming week that I’m beyond excited about. Last year we started a Christmas tradition to only gift each other experiences that we could enjoy at the beginning of the year — that resulted in a weekend trip to Austin from me to him and a weekend trip to Las Vegas from him to me. I love that this not only helps us prioritize memories over material objects, but also gives us something to look forward to during the bleak winter months. This year, we had two road trips planned, but alas, our earlier trip down to Carmel Valley Ranch was canceled as infections rose in that part of the state. It’s looking like the number of cases up north is lower, so our second trip is still on (knock on wood). Looking forward to a couple days of soaking in a big tub, enjoying the outdoors, and generally just kicking back in a place that isn’t our own apartment.
