When we last met, I said we would be heading to San Diego. Well, we stopped short and decided to watch the surfers in Oceanside and visit friends in Vista.
We never realized how lovely Oceanside is. We randomly went there for a lazy day at the beach only to find a secret we've been waiting to hear about. Beaches lined with sand, fire pits, surfers, and people. A pier to walk out into the ocean with a restaurant at the end. Brown beaked pelicans fishing the sea mere feet in front of you. One of the best sunsets We have ever been privy to set our sunset loving eyes upon. There is something to be said for having the love of your life wrapping their arms around you while the sea carries away the day and welcomes the night.
I love this California trip because it has enabled us the opportunity to see people I haven't seen in a decade and Carl has never met. In Vista, we visited Wendi and Jonathan. We had dinner and a lovely evening catching up. Sometimes I wonder why more than a decade passes before reconnecting with people who are so much fun and entertaining. If I had a magic wand, I would wave it and have some of our best friends and family all live relatively close to one another. I suppose this may take the magic out of seeing them in far away places, but it would be so nice to have deep seeded connections closer to where we live.
Call us crazy, but we left Vista at 0300 and headed north, very north. We are just two hours shy of reaching Ashland, Oregon our last anticipated stop on this trip before returning to Portland.
