With daylight savings, it’s been the ideal time of year to catch our favorite Cali sunsets.
Love that these two are growing up to appreciate the natural things in life.
Whale searching… Didn’t spot any this time around.
Daddy/Son silhouettes.
One of our beloved pod fams through this dark tunnel the past few months. Truly cherish them as they’ve become like our family here.
Do ya know how blessed you are to grow up in this midst of this beauty? :)
Leaving their signatures in the sand.
Zen moments…
Inhale, exhale. It’s going to be okay.
Recycled an old costume for his Zoom Halloween “parade”. Still fits!
Last minute change of plans after we were greeted with pouring rain when we reached a trailhead. We need the rain but that day of all days?!
Turned out to be a nice day in a park we’ve only explored once…
Short(er) hike to amazing views.
Always mesmerized by that last sliver slipping into the horizon…
We weren’t too far from Tacos El Gordo so we swung by as the last time we were here, the lines were insane.
Authentic and sorta lived up to the hype?
E has been taking tennis lessons for a few months. Ranked as a top activity for social distancing, lol.
Out on Coronado Island for fall family shoot…
This’ll likely be his sole photo with Santa this year. :)
Takeout from various restos on the pier.
Some of our own skyline shots of this city we adore… ;)
Like life, we sometimes have to take the sour…
Along with the sweet.
First time at a mall since the pandemic shutdown… There were limited patrons allowed at a time in every store. Then we grabbed to-go at DTF SD — a bit underwhelming but maybe it just wasn’t the usual DTF in Asia experience.
Trading (a la Pokemon cards) floor is open.
Mommy and son hike when the dads were both injured.
Trolls in the trunk. :)
And then we saw this unfurl from our windows… huge wildfire east of us.
Oh 2020, how many blows can you throw at us?
The fires raged for days and the air quality was pretty bad…
Rescue copters…
Turned the moon reddish.
Footprints in the sand… He is still carrying us all through this, right?
Our non-Asian friends reminded us it was Mid-Autumn Festival. :P Time somehow has almost become irrelevant.
Haven’t been here since we were tourists! Pinch us again that we’re residents now.
Children of the corn. :D
Fun little outing at a quaint pumpkin patch.
They were more into the bison than the pumpkins…
And rock climbing.
And role playing.
At least they wandered through the patch?
Oh and sat on the pumpkins, haha!
Check out the driver.
And we survive through to another season…
Life goes on through a worldwide pandemic…
Rocks won’t cry.
More tidepooling. Our SD friends who have lived here for 15 years said they’ve never been.
The waves still know His name…
Watching cliff jumpers. :P
Spot the people.
And then school started… a bit different this year. It’s distance learning until further notice. Bummed that we can’t be physically with our classmates but making the best of the situation like rolling out of bed a minute before class starts and learning in our PJ’s. :D
Lots of Lego building time has opened up.
Art and PE class on a beautiful day. There are perks to virtual school, especially in a lovely city. :)
