Adventures in Aptos

So here we are, our first post on the ol' blogger!

Tomorrow after my performance, we'll be driving a few hours north to Sonoma County to celebrate Joseph's sister's 19 years of being alive.  So to prepare for this bonanza, we decided to go a little further up Highway 1 to satisfy our daily dosage looking at old things.  We found Jenny a few really awesome things that will be photographed at a later time, hopefully when we get to see her cute little smiling face while she opens the gift.  Us, on the other hand, got a few things as well!  I also was able to put the camera to use, which always makes me love life a little more.

Before any of this money-spending even happened, though, our plan quickly turned into an adventure when we made a wrong turn and decided to use my non existent four-wheel-drive on an unpaved road.  We braved rough terrain and maybe had to fight off banshees in the process (maybe.), but we found a run-down hotel-turned-restaurant in the process and took a few snapshots in the backyard.


 After that, we found the Antique Mall, but had to brave more rough terrain and chain linked fences to arrive at our destination.

And we made it! Let the antiquing begin. 



Joseph found an awesome tie clip shaped like a Saw.  It'll look real fancy with the new tie I got him for Valentines day.




I even picked up a pair of vintage 1950's sunglasses that (clearly) made me very happy.

Hoping everybody is having a lovely Saturday.  Here's to another performance tonight.  

With love,
Amanda
