H got us a room at the most beautiful hotel in town - The Lodge at Torrey pines (yes, that beautiful oceanfront golf course everybody sees in the Buick Invitational in January which convinces all the Midwesterners to pack up and move here to San Diego!).
The hotel is an homage to Craftsman architects Greene and Greene, and an incredible amount of effort was put into getting the details right. Just beautiful.
We had strawberries and champagne on our ocean-view balcony, then H gave me the Hawaaian style gold and black bands he'd bought for the two of us Then I gave him the poem I wrote him about yin and yang, a yin/yang pendant made by the jeweler who made our original wedding bands, and a book of love poems by Rumi. We had a great dinner at the hotel restaurant and the next morning we took a nice hike down the cliffs to the beach and back in neighboring Torrey Pines State Park. Just fabulous all the way around
