Adventures in Cali



Our first full day in California was a day trip to San Diego, where we visited the zoo and spent an evening on the beach. The San Diego Zoo was amazing! From the bus tour to the air tram, we were able to see almost the entire zoo, which was fortunate since about half of the time we spent on foot was occupied by trying to determine which trail would take us to which exhibit—which turned mostly into walking in circles around the same exhibits again and again.

Departing the zoo, we aimed for Coronado Beach; however, the air had cooled so much by the evening that swimming was not an option. Despite the cool air, a light walk on the beach was in order, followed by sushi.

Our second day in California was spent mostly just relaxing at the house, with the only departure from laziness being the short trip to the disc golf course followed by a short sunset walk in Wrightwood.

Feeling refreshed from the previous day's 'loungefest', Aaron and I took Lily, Stephen and Jenny's dog, for a hike through a section of the Pacific Crest Trail. The day could not have been better! The weather finally cooled down a bit and rather than blowing hot air, the wind was actually blowing a cooler breeze.

We wrapped up our last day in California with a short trip to downtown Wrightwood and eating dinner out on the porch.
