We didn't dive, snorkel or sail...and it didn't matter. We had a relaxing couple days, enjoyed some delicious, fresh seafood, and took a gorgeous hike into the nature conservancy beyond Avalon. I recommend Catalina for anyone looking for a weekend getaway. It's probably more of a "romantic getaway" place than a raging girls' weekend locale, but I recommend it nonetheless.
Ironically, we found a Catholic church named St. Catherine. Not St. Catherine of Siena like the school I work in and church I attend, but St. Catherine of Alexandria. Maria and I enjoyed mass Sunday morning and Julie enjoyed what she called "church of the deck" while sunning herself on the porch.
Lots of laughs and a good time had by all last weekend. Now, it's back to reality. Tori is walking like crazy and we just celebrated my dad's 68th birthday at Maggiano's. I made an angel food cake with some rich mocha frosting and it was h-i-t. Steve's been calling me Betty the last couple
days and the sad thing is, I'm prideful of this new nickname.
On a completely unrelated note: The Cougs absolutely blow this year. Oh well. It's a "building" year. We'll head to Pullman mid-Oct for the USC game. Not sure what we were thinking when we made that selection. The over under will probably be about 90.
