Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
A happy coincidence of timing allowed me to leave work early last Friday and join the Spring Break college kid on an afternoon hike through our favorite trails at Torrey Pines. We've done this many times over the years when he was growing up and he and I have also both taken his grandma from... Continue Reading →
Today is my first day of winter break - my company generously closes from today through 1/3 - so I am catching up on, well, everything! Two days to get ready for Christmas - no problemo right?! Meanwhile the last 5 days were dominated here in So Cal by an enormous (for us) amount of... Continue Reading →
Some fog off on the horizon, but otherwise everything is a brilliant, deep blue. Contrast that with the same time of day in early January when a very muggy heat wave rolled through.

Thanks to a visit by Robin, I got to spend a day off work doing my most favorite thing - touring coastal San Diego's most beautiful view points. She takes the most beautiful pictures so I did not even bother trying to compete, but a couple of times I could not resist so these are... 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.
