Ok, so here this is, even though it was the beginning of the
year, just because I already had it written!
After journeying with me halfway across the country for the
4 or 5 days it took us to drive out here when I moved to California, Christy
didn’t get to spend much time here. But now she has made it back to San Diego,
this time in an airplane! So since she was with me for almost 24 in California
the first time, I think this counts as a return visit. Yay! Just one with more
time in California and less time everywhere else!
We tried to have all sorts of fun in San Diego this go
around. (Although how could we beat
multiple state geocashing, Mike the Headless chicken, and adventures with the
Becky head?) Well, we gave it our best go. We did some whale watching, at which
we also saw a very large band of sea lions all swimming and diving, presumably
trying to catch fish. The marine life folks on the boat said they had never
seen something like this before.
We explored the beach at Coronado Island, which I really
like. There were a ton of shells washed up on the shore in one area, including
many sand dollars! This is the first time I’ve ever seen a live sand dollar, so
that was pretty exciting. Here are a couple, with a coin next to them for
purpose of showing the various sizes.
Christy and Ethan and I also had a fun time exploring Balboa
park, seeing cool buildings and interesting plants, holding some birds and
feeding some ducks a dog biscuit. Which they seemed to enjoy quite a bit.
We also explored the
cove, and a new cute dessert shop, and ate some great fish tacos, all in La
Jolla. And drank lots of coffee. Of course we went to Birdrock Coffee. Its
pretty much a must!
It was great to have Christy in San Diego and I can't wait until she comes back!!
