It has been a “tough” winter here in San Diego. There was a week when it was in the 50s for what felt like eternity. I never thought I would complain being from the east coast and all, but I find myself fitting right in and bitching when it drops below 65. This video about sums it up. (get a grip SoCal!! But seriously, it was COLD)
The local San Diego mountains even got snow above 4,500′ so we took advantage and went snowshoeing at Mount Laguna. (photos) The visibility was poor at times and Casey was getting nervous we would lose our way. I had to calm him down and let him know that we can always backtrack in our prints. Duh! That is what I have done in the past on a solo mission in Mammoth when I wandered off trail…smart?, not in the least…but hey, I AM blonde AND I also have poor sense of direction (though I hate to admit that). It is getting better with age or if I actually pay attention, but sometimes there is just too much going on for that. Regardless, I always find my way.
It warmed up enough for a sunset sesh (photos) for Valentine’s Day followed by some lobster tacos!
Last week, we decided to escape life for a bit and hit up La Quinta Resort and Spa. It is enormous yet completely relaxing. There are 40+ pools, citrus trees galore and hammocks (my favorite!). Exactly what we needed for some mid-winter warmth. (photos)
