2013/12 A Good Tired

Tired myself out today, but it's a good tired. Would have loved to wake up late this morning, but Brie asked me to get her up early so I was up and at 'em at promptly 7:15am. I thought seriously about popping back into bed since there was a nice chill in the air, but the beauty of the morning kept me moving.

It was the perfect day to finally head out to Dripp, a coffee shop that I've been wanting to try out for the longest time. The temperature in Southern California was projected to hover around the upper 50's which is quite low, even for January.

I was more than delighted with the interior of the shop and even more pleased with the mocha that I ordered. It was more than a girl could ask for. The only bummer of the whole experience was the "No Photograph" sign that greeted me as I opened the door to the coffee shop. WHAT?!?!

That didn't stop me from taking a few surreptitious snaps of my most delicious beverage. When nothing was said, I daringly took a few more as casually as I could.

Afterwards, I headed west for a little beach time. Winter is one of my favorite times to head out to the Pacific Ocean. Parking is easy and the beach front is pretty much wide open. I was able to walk around the water and pier for almost two hours.

Now I'm worn out, but, oh, so happy. It was such a wonderful feeling to spend some time out at the ocean.

Seriously thinking of going back for another mocha tomorrow. Going to be another winter's day in California.
