Mommy whisked Daddy and me away this weekend for an early celebration of Daddy’s semi-milestone birthday.

We went to Carmel and Big Sur in California. Rumor has it there are lots of birds and snakes out there guaranteed to bring a big birthday smile to my Daddy’s face.

I had a great time at the hotel, every dangerous spot
was calling my name.

   

While Daddy was out looking for creatures, Mommy and I went to the beach, a short walking distance from our hotel. You can see the famed Pebble Beach golf course in the background.

Birthday Boy Daddy.

On the drive up the coast to Big Sur, I had the most delicious coconut muffin! Yay, vacation treat! (foreshadowing here…hint)

We had good family QT (quality time) exploring all over the shore.

BTW, while we were California dreamin’, Auntie Hay was at her soccer reunion at UT. How cool is this stadium?! Big day in the Prender family as it’s Tennessee – Florida Rivalry Day!

So anyway, back to that muffin. While we were at the airport waiting for our flight home, all of a sudden I threw up and became listless and 911 was called. Then hives popped out all over. There must have been egg in that muffin they told us was vegan. I got better then not so much, so off we went to the ER. They took good care of me and I’m feeling much better now, thank you very  much. We stayed overnight in the airport hotel and have been cleared to fly home later today. BTW I was impressed with my impeccable timing of getting sick before we boarded the plane, not after.

Glad I was there to bring a little excitement to the weekend. Much more interesting than all those critters.
