Getting High on our Second Anniversary
So for our second anniversary, Allyssa decided to do something different. I've got to hand it to her - I didn't expect it. To clarify our tradition, we do things in threes. The first year I do the anniversary activity, the second Allyssa does, and on the third we both do. (As you might expect, this is a fairly new tradition it hasn't fully played out for the first time yet).
So we started the day by packing up and going to.....Coffee Cat. Coffee Cat is a coffee shop in Scott's Valley. We frequented it when we were going back and forth to Mt. Hermon while we were planning our wedding. I suspected we might be. In fact, my suspicion was that we'd be staying the night in Mt. Hermon. So when we went to Coffee Cat, I thought my suspicions were accurate.
After we took off from there, we went to...Mt Hermon. But, come to find out - it's not our final destination. It's a stop along the way. So we took some time to visit the chapel where we got married, and the gift shop down the hill. After that, we still had some time to kill before we could check in at our mysterious accommodation. So we walked around the covered bridge in Felton before we drove down to Santa Cruz to cruise along Cliff Drive.
After we'd exhausted a sufficient amount of time, we turned around and started driving toward our destination. I was afraid - Allyssa told me that the place didn't have a/c - and like our wedding day, it was hot today. Quite hot.
Imagine my surprise when I noticed signs for - the Mystery Spot. And then Allyssa told me to turn on Mystery Spot Drive. She told me that when we ran into the parking lot person at the Mystery Spot, to tell them that we're residents. So...I did that, and then we ran into a gate. We punched a code and headed on up the narrow single lane road looking for... this!
It's a treehouse! I didn't see it coming - at all. What a surprise!
So after making ourselves at home, we walked over to the Mystery Spot (Allyssa has never been) and then went to burger in Santa Cruz and Cruz Creamery - which was pretty good. And now we're here again! It's been a good trip so far! Tomorrow we're off to Roaring Camp to ride a train through the Redwoods, and then off to...somewhere...for dinner. :) Yay July 9! Yay anniversary!
