Heading South

The journey continues. 

We left TO and headed south via car to San Diego. We ate along the way and enjoyed the view of the ocean when our route allowed. This is the first time to SD for both of us, visiting yet another set of amazing friends (How are we so fucked up and have such great friends?)

We went to swim practice in the evening for their daughter who's in a swim club. I felt at home there with families taking care of their kids, watching over them and helping them in healthy activities. I didn't get in the water but Jay did and so did my friend that's the mom. 

The steam was rising off the water in the cool evening air as they swam. I had a hard time staying warm and found some dry towels to wrap up in. It's always hard to know what to wear in Cali and what to bring on a trip. Palm trees! The ocean! The sun! Yeah it's still 50 and 60 degrees in the winter, 

After the swim practice, we went out for sushi and then headed home. It feels good to see where they've landed after living in our town for the past twelve years. We miss them, but celebrate the new life they're creating here.
