our mini vacation - day 1

here's the first pictures from our mini-trip out to Mill Valley, a little bit north of SF. without traffic on a Labor Day Monday, it only took us 48 minutes to get here. thomas slept almost the entire way there so it was a perfect drive.

Here's the view from our balcony. Catherine swindled the young man at the front-desk by saying it's our 10th year annivesary (which is true...) and he bumped us from a regular to a junior suite with a balcony and a bottle of champagne.














Acqua hotel is nice...and not too pricey at all. I'd recommend for a short get-away in our bay area backyard. all the staff are also very nice. continental breakfast is included along with free wine & cheese in the lobby every evening. BIG plus! instantly made me like the hotel.

Here's Thomas all by himself in the king-size bed....









we got into our room and immediately took over 100 pictures of thomas on the bed. it was so arty looking we couldn't help ourselves. plus it was very funny seeing him, sitting so properly on the bed. we got quite a few good shots of him smiling, laughing and looking pensively out towards the bay.
