It’s been just over six months since arriving in Sacramento, and our time there (this time around) has come to an end. I know it’s a cliché, but it really is hard to believe that the time passed so quickly! We enjoyed spending time with our family, welcoming a new grandson to the world, volunteering at the Yolo County Grasslands Regional Park, and reconnecting with our friends. It took a little effort to “unspread” ourselves – after lighting somewhere for six months, you have a tendency to not only collect more than you need, you also spread out. So the last couple of weeks before we hit the road were spent sorting through everything, getting the rig ready to roll, getting rid of what we didn’t need.
We left Sacramento on Tuesday, March 17th on our way to San Diego. We stopped overnight in Bakersfield, and arrived in San Diego on March 18th (Dan’s birthday!). We were expecting some nice warm weather, but it was actually foggy almost every day we were there, except on Sunday, when it rained! But we managed to get out and do a lot of things during our five days there. We spent time with my sister Jennifer, visited the Flower Fields in Carlsbad (about 25 miles north of San Diego), ate at some nice restaurants, took a 5-mile run on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach, and toured the USS Midway (a retired aircraft carrier docked at the Navy Pier on the Embarcadero in downtown San Diego.) Our visit here was kind of like a mini-vacation, and a great way to start our Spring 2009 road trip!
I’ve attached pictures from our tour of the Flower Fields - 50 acres of extraordinary color in bloom on a hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Check out this link for the history of the Flower Fields: http://www.theflowerfields.com/index.html.
