There is apparently nothing like Southern California in the winter, except Southern California in the spring, summer, and fall. It is warming up and is absolutely heavenly. For CH’s last day yesterday we were out in the sun all day, walking the beach, eating at The Green Flash, and laying by the pool until sunset. Today MK and I wasted the day soaking in sun and then drove through Del Mar and shopped their plaza.

I’ve been curious to consider the change in dynamic as the warm weather brings with it the tourists and have become a little apprehensive about how different it will feel. True we’re still just renting, but we already feel like permananet locals.
