Seal at La Jolla Cove
I've spent the past several days traveling to, then vacationing in the L.A. and San Diego area. Actually, we're staying in Carlsbad, which is lovely. Our condo has beautiful gardens, is right across the street from the ocean, and has a train depot not far away. I love listening to the trains - they remind me of home, where we have a set of tracks (and a crossing) just below our house.
So far, the trip has included family time, visiting lovely gardens, watching lots of hummingbirds, seeing Torrey Pines State Reserve in bloom, visiting San Elijo Estuary - a county park, with a wonderful diversity of life, and a delightful desert tortoise named Franklin. We've been to Balboa Park for the day, walked along the beach, eaten some wonderful meals, and played countless games of Bananagrams. We're managing the traffic - always a challenge in this area - and are planning to spend some time simply enjoying Carlsbad, then visiting a mission or two and the Botanical Gardens and aquarium. Other than that...a road trip to Joshua Tree National Monument, possibly through Anza Borrego, and then back to Long Beach and family, before returning home.
