“The Westside Story”

“The Westside Story”


Washington to Atlanta at 6 in the morning, we’re still on the East Coast,
Six hours to the West Coast it’s a long flight we both know.
Mentally we make connecting flights of love
We do it down below; we even do it up above.
Some innocent play just simply misconceived,
But I’m still not finished; I’ve got more love up my sleeve.
So we land in San Francisco and get this trip unhinged,
When we look around the bend and see the Golden Gate Bridge.
Like you its better up close, than it is far away
I never knew the lone sailor was looking over the bay.
On to Sausalito to see what it’s about,
But we’d end up eating dinner and then we were out.
On to Sonoma Where the wine and vineyards are,
Because after six hours of flight we need some serious R & R
The next day we wake up and go out to the coast
This scenery must come from “The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost.”
Black sand beaches and huge waves hitting the shore,
I almost got too close and nearly hit the floor.
A couples’ massage followed by a trip to the vineyard,
Where we have a couples’ lunch and get our wine configured.
On to the Sequoias a place once special to your parents,
Now it’s special to us; I guess it’s inherent.
They’re so big and so tall; much like my love for you,
a picture can’t capture it all; too overwhelming to get in view.
On to a place where deer eat off the sand,
They call it Golden Beach; like you it’s gorgeous and grand.
A little further north we see something so serene,
A father reading to his daughters on the beach; what a scene!
On to Port Orford where we hear we’ll see the light,
But on the way we see a message; “Take a Chance, Live Your Life!”
So we listen to the message; a side trip to “Battle Rock,”
Where we try to climb a boulder, and then decide to stop.
We finally get to the light and it’s so beautiful and rare,
Like a kaleidoscope, it gets better the longer you stare.
We go to get dinner, where we get the last reservation,
It’s just another testament to this wonderful vacation.
On to the Shiloh, so we can sleep and wake-up,
In the morning we have to head over to Tillamook.
We awaken to a variety of curds and cheese,
By the look on my Woman’s face I can tell she is pleased.
It gives me so much pleasure to see a smile on her face,
It just serves as a reminder that I’m in a good place.
We take a pass on Mt. Rainier to get to Seattle,
Because if we don’t hurry; we’ll have a major battle,
To get to Pike’s Market, and see the”Big-ass shrimp,”
And the selection of White King, which is already skimp.
After a very relaxing dinner we hop into a van,
Going to the “Space Needle” exactly like we’d planned.
We’re close to the Pacific in an executive kind of way,
But we have to get some rest because tomorrow’s a big day.
We’re flying to Hawaii, Maui to be exact,
I have my wife to thank for this, she’s priceless and that’s a fact.
To my wife I’ll say Maui was much like reading Dr. Seuss,
A story about how much I Love You!
I Love You in a plane at 1300 ft.
I Love You 3o ft. below, I love you in a submarine.
I Love You sitting in an outrigger canoe,
I Love You listening to music on an evening sunset cruise.
I Love You on a waterfall, I Love You in a cave,
I Love You on black sand beaches, and on one way roads that aren’t paved
I Love You on a plantation, I Love You zip lining,
I Love You at museums, I Love You while dining.
I Love You even if we cannot do scuba,
I Love You even if we must settle for snuba.
This trip was amazing it took me to new heights,
The worst part about it was the three returning flights.
It was time to finally end the best vacation of my life,
It was time to say goodbye; it was time to say goodnight.




The only thing better than this vacation is being able to say goodnight to you each and every night, thank you so much baby! I really enjoyed myself! Every day you remind me of why I love you !

Merry Christmas Honey!
