Yesterday we took a side trip and drove 2 hours east so Thomas could visit a college. We sat through a short presentation and took a tour of the campus. The thing that stood out to me was how much the admissions staff really seemed to know about him. They were quite impressed with his high school grades.
Torrey Pines
When we go to San Diego, one of our favorite places to go for a day hike is the Torrey Pines State Nature Reserve. It's a beach cliff area just below the famous golf course and UC San Diego. This day we went there was a sinkhole due to recent rains, so we had to park at the bottom and walk up the hill, but typically you can drive up and hike out to various points with views of the ocean and down towards the beach.
Morning Walk on Mission Bay
Our family enjoys traveling to Southern California during the cold, wet winter months in the PNW. One of our favorite spots is the Mission Bay area of San Diego. I typically enjoy a good long walk in the mornings.
