Playing Hookie

Matt and I dropped everything today for a little date on the beach.  He had the day off, the kids were in school and the weather was perfect!

 We pretty much had Carlsbad Beach to ourselves, except for a few surfers and just enjoyed some nice uninterrupted conversation, a walk to the jetty and a little time to read.

 We stopped at JR's for a shaved ice on the way home and the date continued with dinner that night since both of the girls stayed at friends' houses.  There aren't many perks to the crazy schedule he has at work, but a day off during the week was certainly one positive!
