Doing some catch up. August 2014

A lot has happened over the past little while. Well, at least since I did any kind of decent meaningful post. I took the kids to San Diego. We found a really lovely condo complex right on the beach. Fantastic. We'll definitely be going back there. Spent the time watching the waves, the beach goers, the dolphins and the shoals of fish you could see. Oh and I saw a sea lion. It was amazing.

My son had only seen the ocean once before, well truthfully we'd been at the beach three times before this but the second time had been shrouded in so much fog that we could only hear the ocean until we reached it by walking blind through the fog. He was mesmerized. He spent ages watching the waves. He was six then. This time he was ten and was just as mesmerized as before. 

We had visited San Diego before but it had been incredibly wet and cold so we hadn't spent any time by the ocean. It had been December. We had spent time wandering the area there and further north into LA, We had gone to Balboa Park not knowing quite what to expect. I had found that there was a miniature railway museum there so we had gone along. We were all quite surprised at just how lovely the place is.So this time around, we went again.This time, I had more money because we didn't have the bother of a second adult and we went into all the museums and galleries that I could persuade them to go to. So much to see and so many things to explore. We love San Diego.
