We made haste on our return but, as always, the journey is a delight. A gorgeous sunrise over Oklahoma City; a stop in Little Rock to see the Clinton Presidential Library; an unexpected night at a lovely TVA state campground near Knoxville (thanks FDR!) and our favorite stopover: Nick and Jamie’s home in Maryland. WeContinue reading “That’s A Wrap!”

We had a special birthday dinner with Rachel, and then we packed up and headed East! We love being in the Rig (aka the Rigatoni), which makes leaving Rachel and SoCal easier. First stop: Sedona. We stayed in a cottage at the base of Thunder Mountain. To quote my niece Addie: I am so madContinue reading “Making Tracks!”

It is our last weekend in California! What a great way to ride out the winter–amazing weather, beautiful beaches, terrific food and–best of all–lots of time with Rachel and Beans. Great visits with Belinda in San Diego, and Grampy and Addie in Manhattan Beach. The Suits head out 3/31/22 on a fast trip back–more later!Continue reading “The Final Stretch”

Friends! The clock goes back, and spring will come. We look forward to heading home but really loving the weather and the outdoor lifestyle while we have it this month. And having Rachel nearby is pretty great too. Hit the Getty Villa grounds and could not bring ourselves inside. SoCal is in bloom and myContinue reading “California Dreamin’”

After seven amazing weeks on the beach in San Diego, the Traveling Suits headed up the coast to Manhattan Beach. We are a little over 10 miles to downtown Los Angeles as the crow flies, but we cannot travel by crow so we have to drive in crazy traffic. It is hilly here–like San FranContinue reading “LA Woman”

First, my mother turned 88! Always the life of any party, and she makes the effort to be happy every day. We are all very grateful she is so sharp and independent. Week 6 in Mission Beach and one more to go! Still love the vibe, the weather, the views from the house. More babyContinue reading “Good Times”

Belinda Barton, my friend of over 40 years (yikes), came for the week and we had so much fun! Rented (another) convertible and spent a lot of time watching newborn seals and surfers in La Jolla. Also eating, chatting, cruising, shopping, walking, laughing, SUP (her), watching the Olympics, laughing some more. We had a gorgeousContinue reading “Super Week”

Rachel and Alex came last week. A native of Cincinnati, Alex had to leave early to be ready for the Bengals v Chiefs game. We gave him what turned out to be a good luck poncho! Go Bengals! (He was also very patient with Pal!) Morning bike rides on the ocean side always provide aContinue reading “Vibing in SoCal”

The beautiful weather here is not lost on us for a minute. Very grateful. Sending warmth and safety back home to everyone riding out the storm. The Neighborhood A Little Fun Balboa Park: AMAZING Pacific Beach, La Jolla
