Our mini-getaway continued at a resort/spa in Temecula.  We had a great view from our villa and enjoyed the view of the vineyard while having our breakfast. . .

We checked out of our villa today, but not without another outdoor breakfast followed by a morning swim.  Thanks, Groupon, for a good deal!

I missed cooking while I was away and was craving some fried rice.  I love that it's super fast and so good!  Eating it out of a cute bowl only makes it taste better ;)

I decided to go back to my classroom to set up and was greeted by boxes of new math materials.  My unofficial first day back at work was much more pleasant thanks to lunch with a dear friend/colleague, and some Starbucks love from my sister and nephew.

Today was my first furlough day.  It gave me a chance to work on some projects at home and spend time with my doggies.  We started and ended our summer vacation on the patio together.  Love them!!
