What a great week! I love San Diego. Lots of nice peeps, great eats, fabulous freeways, oh, the outlet malls! We shopped, we ate, we slept, all the things a good vacation is made of. California is wonderful.
I had a reunion with my friend Linda from Hawaii days who lives in San Diego. We hadn't seen each other in 27 years but picked right up where we left off. How cool is that!
The resort we stayed at more than lived up to any expectations we might have had. It was bee-yoo-tee-full! Clean, quiet and a lush green tropical setting across the street from the ocean.
We love the Outlet Malls and we've been to the best. We tried a new one a little further north than last year's trip and it was even better! Across the street was a casino and you know what that means! Buffet! Cheap! All you can eat!
Breakfast at the beach..........the concierage at the hotel recommended a place along the beach to go for breaky and he was right, best food around. Loved it so much we went there 3 out of 5 mornings. Great coffee too.
We went back to Mission Beach and found John's bench again. Isn't it amazing? The only bench along the beach that's named for anyone in big letters. Every other bench has a small plaque in memory of whomever donated the bench but John's? Big bold letters. I think it's a gift from God for my brother because nobody loved the beach more than him.
Home again.......back to the strike looming over our heads. It sucks. I'm afraid for all of us. I don't think a strike favours anyone and it just breaks down relationships between everyone.
