For two people who didn’t really make plans for Valentine’s Day, we sure did find a way to have a decadent time. We spent the morning lazing about with breakfast in bed, involving smoked salmon and smoked oysters, english muffins and cream cheese, coffee, mimosas, and strawberries and cream. Then we headed the call of a gorgeous Santa Barbara day and went to Alice Keck Park, a small botanical garden where we got married a year and a half ago.

We took photos of each other.
And photos of turtles
I have a special affinity for turtles.

Here they are storming the beaches of Normandy.
Or something. They’re vicious little beasties too! One would try to scramble up, only to be knocked down with a little plop! back into the water.

Then this guy:

would follow this guy around trying to nip him in the ass.

Animals are entertaining.

Then we wandered some more around downtown. Had crushcake cupcakes. Watched Up In The Air. Played a little wii. And now we’re off to dinner. Let no one say we can’t find love in unexpected places.
