This has been an odd year as I made solo trips to San Diego twice! This was mostly because Chase is older and can stand to be away from me for a few days, and Nate has a bit of flexibility in his schedule. In October, I took a few days to fly to LA to visit Sakina and meet Sophie! I then drove down to San Diego to go to Liz and Jack's wedding, which was super fun and felt like an awesome HMC reunion!
I spent the rest of the time with my parents. My mom and I had the chance to do a Wild Animal Park caravan tour and were able to feed the giraffes and feed (and pet!!) the rhinos! It was an awesome tour as we went at sunset and all the animals were super active after a hot day and were putting on an awesome show for us! My mom's birthday fell in the days I was visiting, so it was also nice to celebrate her.
Other than seeing my parents, I also spent some time with my cousin (who was visibly absent from our Ukraine trip this summer as she was working in London this summer before returning back to San Diego to finish her senior year). However, when my parents and cousin were at work/school, I enjoyed a burrito and some beach time in the best place in the world.
I'm glad you were able to get in some California time this year!
