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.
Memorial Day with Pickles
Double Peak and the Del Mar Dog Beach were the highlights of my weekend here in San Diego. Lucy was invited to both events as well. Her first trip to the dog beach was a success to say the least. Until today, her only water experience was me throwing her in the pool at the…
Spring fling
It seems that April passed in the blink of an eye and May is already right around the corner. For anyone that is wondering, we are still living in the wonderful extended stay and keeping our fingers crossed that we’ll find a house soon. Lucky for us, there is so much to see and do…
Trail update
In case you’re wondering what I’ve been up to while Phil is hard at work in Marine land, here’s a quick update. Most of my days are spent continuing my job search, but I try to get outside each day to take advantage of this glorious weather. So far I’ve done some shorter hikes on…
It’s not big but Lucy doesn’t mind…
So it’s been a few weeks and we’re still living in the wonderful Extended Stay in Oceanside. I checked into my new squadron, HMLA/T-303, a few weeks ago and it’s been busy, busy, busy ever since. They handed me a few thousand pages of user manuals for the new UH-1Y helicopter and I started to…
We’re Home!
After 2589.53 miles we arrived at our “new” home in California. The next adventure is to begin our house search! Until then, we are staying at an extended stay hotel. As Phil said, the 250 square foot room is our motivation to get out there and find a house ASAP.
