Saturday in Cali

Saturday we were pretty wasted from the whole Disney experience. I had planned to go for a nice long run down to the beach, but you'll be happy to know that I said "FORGET THAT!" and slept in as long as I could. The kids were up early to play with all the Bradshaw boys and I found Jared was gone by 8 am too-- he and Jeff took off early to play flag football with some church members. So Brittany and I chatted the morning away and tried to plan our day. Apparently, every Saturday Jeff goes surfing early in the morning, then plays football. After he gets home, she has the rest of the day to do whatever she wants. What a great plan- I really like this Bradshaw tradition!

So we pondered our various options- see a movie, get a pedicure, have a massage, go shopping, out to lunch, etc. It was tough to decide because they all sounded fabulous! In the end, we went to an O'Neill warehouse sale that Brittany's sister told her about. Brittany had been before and scored some great deals. Off we went... It was the last day of the sale, so we knew that stuff was picked over, but we still found some great stuff. Some of the items were seconds and some were perfect, just discontinued items. Since it was the last day, many items were marked down to $1 or $2!! The 1st quality shorts and dresses were supposed to be $5, but when I checked out they only charged me $1 or $2 for everything. I got 11 items for $14! I love bargain shopping!

I got 2 pairs of shorts and 2 tees, board shorts, a hat, 2 tees and a hoodie for Olivia, and 2 tees for Austin. Isn't that crazy? We were there about an hour or two, then came home to see the end of Asher's soccer game.

After that, we headed over to Jeff's bro's complex to swim at the pool. Brittany and I picked up lunch on the way there. We all had lunch and relaxed. It was a beautiful, perfect day.

That night, Jeff and Jared's good rugby friend, Jared Kirkwood, came over for dinner. He lives in So Cal too. Brittany made a delicious BBQ Chicken Pizza and the boys all reminisced about rugby days and caught up with each other. I can't believe it was 8 years ago that these three ran the St. George Marathon together. I thought they were so crazy! I never would have thought that I would end up running it 8 yrs later. Strange.

After chatting with the guys and enjoying our dinner, Jared and I were shooed out of the house by Jeff and Brittany for a massage appointment at a place nearby. $20 for a one hour Vietnamese massage. Let me tell you, it was the BEST thing to do the day after Disney. We loved it. Jared got serious deluxe treatment- Thai massage style. She was climbing on his back and everything. Mine was still very good, but I was jealous. I love massages and I love it when they totally dig into my back and get my knots out. I didn't want it to end after an hour! We went back to a quiet house and watched a few episodes of Survivor on TV.
