Wow, it has been a busy couple of weeks since I've posted last. Here's some updates!
First of all, I did celebrate a birthday. And for all the stink I made about turning 30 (I wasn't exactly excited about it), I did survive and quite honestly don't feel any different at all than I did at 29. Oh so anticlimactic.
It turns out this is actually the second birthday that I have celebrated in San Diego. I happened to be here at a conference 5 years ago over my birthday. And sadly, I think that makes these two birthdays in San Diego the farthest ones spent from my mom, whose birthday I share. Well, at least we had a great time celebrating last year!
The really great part about my birthday was that my wonderful friend Melissa flew all the way to California to spend it with me! It was truly fantastic. We had as many adventures as we could, and it was a great chance to explore San Diego. We had coffee and lunch on the beach, ate incredible desserts at Extraordinary Desserts, watched the sunset over the Pacific Ocean, saw seals at La Jolla Cove, went to the San Diego Zoo, ate some really good food, and drank lots of Peets coffee! It was just good for my soul to have a close friend nearby. I do miss everyone so much!
And here we are, drinking our Peet's Coffee on La Jolla Shores beach!
And just days after Melissa's visit, I was lucky enough to get another visitor, as my friend Erin came the next weekend. Yay for friends who also get Veterans Day off! Erin and I did some hiking at Torrey Pines Reserve which has some great ocean views, also watched sunsets over the Pacific, spent some time hanging out on the beach, saw the Zoo, took a Harbor boat tour, drank more Peet's coffee, and had a great time. So sweet to have a second friend come and visit and get to do more new things around the city.
Here's a pic of us from the back of the boat from our Harbor cruise overlooking Point Loma and the entrance from the harbor into the Pacific Ocean.
Thanks ladies for coming all the way out to see me!
