I got to take my trip to San Diego! I had so much fun. It felt like I was going home. I kept super busy and felt like I finally got some closure on having to move. We left the week of the terrible fires. I felt like I never really got to say good-bye to everyone and was so tired and stressed out and pregnant that I didn't get to go around see my old favorite haunts. Being such a sappy and sentimental person - that was all pretty important to me. So on my trip this time....I went to Seaport Village, walked along the Bay, went to the Coronado library (I know I'm weird, a library on a vacation? I had always wanted to go there, though and never got the chance. It has a FABulous children's section. I miss the libraries of San Diego. They are really stellar. They just don't make them like that here. )
My good friend Isa organized a dinner for me with a bunch of my friends. Thanks a million Isa!!! It was fun to see them - especially since many of them are graduating from UCSD and moving on to Portland, Northern CA, maybe Boston, etc.... I was a highjlight of my trip! I also went to my old stroller strides class, Del Mar, Torrey Pines Beach, La Jolla Cove, La Jolla Library, Point Loma lighthouse, bayside trail, Pint Loma lighthouse, walk around my old neighorhood, the temple, Pacific Beach, an Asian market - and of course I had rehearsals and the choir concert. I'm amazed I squeezed all this into 4 1/2 days. I didn't get to do Legoland or Sea World or Shelter Island or hike Torrey Pines but I still had fun. I had a great time with Leslie - thanks for putting me up - and putting up with me!!! We made tomato soup cake and sour cream enchiladas and ate lots of junk food and stayed up late talking! It was fun! Unfortunately - I had to come home. I did miss Cadet and hubby, but other than that I really miss San Diego. Some things I miss the most are:
1. The people
2. Fish tacos - the edible kind- they are nasty out here in UT
3. Papaya Salad from Thai cafe on Coronado
4. the ocean
5. The Sunshine - being able to walk outside every day with great views!
6. The Temple
7. My old neighborhood - perfect for walking
8. My piano students
9. The choir - I miss making music
10. the nursing lounge at church - it is social hour every hour in there!!!!
Well - enough reminsiscing for now! San Diego I love ya' and I miss ya'! Hopefully before too long it will start to feel like home here, too.

Debby, it was so great to see you and meet Tink! I am so glad you had such a great time and got to do everything that helped you feel closure after your move. I know that is so important. Your pictures are so gorgeous! Heck, they even make me miss San Diego and I still live here! It was so great to get together and we all miss you! It really was a great time -- I bet Souplantation thought we'd never leave:)
Debby, I know exactly how you feel! When I left Henderson, I was so sad to leave the people and the year-round sunshine! We need to plan more things together...it was so good seeing you.
Leslie!
I loved seeing you again, too! Soak up that San Diego sun before you move - it is too nice! It is good to move on and get new adventures. Hopefully you will get a house when you move, too - that IS a nice plus of moving away! Please keep in touch and let me know your new address!
Jenny,
Moving is tough, isn't it? And it just seems to take time to get settled again. I loved visiting with you! Your girls are soo sweet! My boys need to take some lessons from them in some manners :) I hope to see you again sometime soon!
Debby
Debby~ Lucky girl! Sounds like you had a fabulous trip :) THere just isn't anywhere quite like SD.
I wish we could have met up before we moved--I hate how crazy things get in the end (and understand about missing that closure, although I didn't feel that leaving UT, except for missing out on seeing a few people, I was done living there ;))
Dabby,
Your pictures make me miss San Diego too!!! How I would have loved to join you all at Souplantation. Moving is tough, no question about it. But oh, the mountains in Utah!
