Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
There are SO MANY mommy bloggers out there, and it's fabulous. Really. Heck, it's a darn *industry*! And yes, having met a daddy-blogger last week I know they are starting to come out of the closet more and more. Still, there is just something extra special about a dad writing about moments with his kids.... Continue Reading →
The wind was gusting all over as I parked at the beach to take pictures. It had rained earlier, but the bigger part of today's storm is the wind. Gusting at 30mph this morning, building up to 45mph this afternoon. I had my back to the wind as I took the photo above & I... Continue Reading →
If not for Holidailies, I would be skipping today as I have total Friday brain drain. Luckily, I took a few pictures at the beach post rain storm which I can share. Perhaps this will warm up those of you with that cold, white stuff on the ground - which seems to be all over... Continue Reading →

From the drive up to Montrose on Tuesday. Somewhere along the 15 freeway just north of Lake Elsinore, these... Continue Reading →
So a little while ago I shared this from our hike at Torrey Pines. I want to post it again to provide a contrast. Even if I took this photo to show then entire San Diego coastline it would essentially look like this. Nothing on the horizon. OK, now lets see some pictures from my... Continue Reading →
What is w00t anyway? I don't really know but I've picked it up as some sort of internet term clearly signifying something utterly awesome. A cheer and a congratulations all rolled into one I guess. But, I digress. First, HAH! I remembered my camera! However, I did *not* leave home early enough to pull over... Continue Reading →
Photos from our 1/29/08 hike which was supposed to be at the Rancho Penasquitos Trail, but that park was closed I assume due to high creek levels from the rain. We will attempt that site again Saturday. So we went to the place we know best, Torrey Pines Reserve. Parked at work and walked in... Continue Reading →
