I love San Diego! The perfect place for sun and fun. Where Kimmie has lived twice, Rex once (for a summer), and the place my kids and I vacationed nearly every summer as they were growing up.
We had a wonderful weekend get away to San Diego. Highlight: spending time with each other and Kimmie (and seeing Kailey)!
The first day we started out eating breakfast at a side walk cafe overlooking a farmer's market in Riverside. Then we bought some fresh fruit and flowers and headed to Kimmie's house in San Diego. Kimmie, Rex and I had fun relaxing and body surfing at Mission Beach that afternoon. I took 'sand in your shorts' to a new level...I didn't realize I'd scooped up half the ocean floor until we got home.
The second day we had fun at Ocean Beach...Rex and I enjoyed a nice walk on the beach and we loved seeing Kimmie's dog, Kobe, run and play with “the big dogs”. Kobe did not want to leave the beach. Neither pulling nor coaching worked to get him to go. Kimmie literally had to pick him up and carry him to get him to leave. It was sad, really. Good thing he's a yorkie and not a German Shepard!
The last day was a little crazy dropping Rex off at one end of the airport in Ontario, California and picking up Kailey and Brecken at the other end. Luckily, Rex was able to check in and then hoof it to Kailey's terminal and see her before he had to take off for a workshop in Michigan. Fun tidbit: this is his first trip to Michigan...now he has been to 49/50 states, with only Alaska to go (we should've gone to see Blaine and Cindy while they were living there!). I dropped Kailey and Brecken off at Redlands University, for a youth conference, and then drove home.

I had some fun moments in the car ride home. I heard a song that Tyler and I always listened to when he was younger (Don't Take the Girl, by Tim McGraw) and called him and left him a message and played the song for him so he'd know I was thinking about him. I talked to Christie, Natalie and my friend Linda on the phone and I stopped by and saw Tracy on my way through Mesquite, NV.
Thanks for having us Kimmie! Kailey and Brecken I hope you have a blast at EFY! Rex, I love you so much and miss you all ready!
Love,
Lisa
