So if you haven’t gone rock surfing yet, you’re missing out! For the MLK weekend, we lucky enough to have a visitor from up the road (Seattle). We did a little eating, a little cooking, a little hiking.. standard things really. We’re batting 3 for 3 so far for the new year. Found another cool…
New Year, new adventures
Happy New Years! Whether you subscribe to two-K-ten, twenty-ten, or two-thousand ten, it all looks the same on paper – 2010. A new year brings a challenge for new adventures. We started the year with a 10 mile hike at Dripping Springs Trail in the Cleveland National Forest. Don’t ask about the name. If I…
Hung by the chimney with care
It’s that Christmas time of the year again; normally that means Mere and I board an airplane and head north for a snow-filled Christmas in Minnesota. This year was a little different though. We opted to stay here in San Diego and some of our family came out to visit. What a time we had…
The other side of the mountain.
What’s on the other side of Monserate Mountain you ask? Lucy could tell you; she’s been there (or at least seen the other side). Just another Saturday here in SoCal. A little hiking adventure… no big deal. Monserate Mountain (1500ft at the peak so not really a mountain) is up in the Fallbrook area. We…
Festober or is it Oktival?
Or maybe we should just leave it as Oktoberfest since it has a better ring to it. We would be remiss, and yelled at, if we didn’t make a post about Dr. Joel S. Tilleson Esq. visiting last month. Boy what a time we had! It was great to see our old friend. We spent…
Catching up…
All our faithful blog stalkers (hopefully we have one, or two) may have noticed we took a hiatus from posting, but now it’s time to catch up! Catching up was the name of the game for the end of our summer as we spent nearly every weekend traveling to visit family and friends. Our first…
Monday Funday
So ever since I’ve been out here I’ve heard rumors of this place called Mt. Palomar. Supposedly it’s a great place to ride your motorcycle; so great in fact that on the weekends there are frequently groups of 50-100 motorcyclists riding up and down the mountain for hours at a time. Mt Palomar is kind…
Yellow beer is for wussies?
Mr John Fairall III graced us with his presence last weekend. Good times indeed. Too bad he doesn’t live closer so we could kick it more often. So apparently you do NOT drink yellow beer at The Tap Room in PB. I wonder if the bartender just grabbed any old glass behind the bar or…
Every night is date night
Just another lovely San Diego evening. We’re more than a bit spoiled with the weather here. It’s “unbearably hot” when it’s 85 out and it’s “unbearably cold” when it’s 72. This weather lends itself to many-o-enjoyable nights spent dining out on our patio. Add to that the fact that I haven’t seen my beloved grill…
May gray, June gloom…
That is how San Diegans describe the May and June weather in southern California. Phil and I aren’t quite sure what they are talking about. Although we did have to suffer through 3 days of “rain” (less than an inch accumulated) May and June thus far have been beautiful.
