California Dreamin'

Jeremy's line of work requires that he travel a lot. Sometimes I get a little jealous of the places he gets to go, mostly because he gets treated to hotels and activities that we would never do on our own. As much as I've wanted to join him in the past, the timing just never worked out.

A few months ago he told me he was invited to a conference in Newport Beach. When he showed me the website where he would be staying, it took me a whole two seconds to decide I would make the timing just right on this one.

Jeremy left on Thursday to attend the required meetings and also went to the Yankees/Angels game.

I flew in the next day and when I arrived at the resort and saw the parking lot, I knew this was going to be much different from our usual experience at the Marriott.

Seriously.

Jeremy had to work most of the time. I felt kind of bad watching him work while laying out at the pool.

Okay, not really that bad.



Then Jeremy worked some more and I was forced to find something to do on my own.





It was really rough.

Luckily, we did get to go out one of the nights. It was really nice to meet his "work family" that he has known all these years. I can definitely see why Jeremy enjoys spending so much time with them.

Although it was a short weekend, it was really relaxing and exactly what I needed to get through the upcoming winter. I love California.
