California Dreaming

Meg returned from her trip to California yesterday exhausted, but happy with her vacation.  She met Nick in San Diego where they went to the San Diego Zoo and La Jolla Cove.  They loved all of the animals at the zoo with the koalas being Nick's favorite while Meg fell in love with the babirusas all over again. The beach at La Jolla was covered with water, but there were still plenty of sea lions for Nick and Meg to enjoy.  Meg thought it was funny how aggressive they became with each other when one would try to take another one's spot.  They ended their time in San Diego with a long hike along the coast.  Meg said that it was beautiful, and they really enjoyed it even though Nick got reprimanded from two ladies for being too close to the edge.  I was glad that they were there to say it as I was feeling the same thing from the pictures that Meg sent.

The next three days of their trip were spent in Anaheim at Disneyland.  Meg and Nick went to Trader Sams for souvenir cup drinks, shopped at Disney Springs and visited both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure.  They rode on all of the rides that weren't at the Orlando parks and several that had been closed years ago.  They loved the Nightmare Before Christmas themed Haunted Mansion ride, and especially enjoyed Disneyland's version of Pirates of the Caribbean.  They ended their fantastic trip by visiting the memorial at the childhood home of Beach Boys, Carl, Brian and Dennis Wilson.

I loved hearing all about Meg's trip and seeing all of the pictures.  Our vacation in California in 2019 was a family favorite.  I was so glad that Meg was able to revisit it and take Nick to all of her favorite places in Southern California.  It was also nice that she got to see where Nick works.  I hope the memories that they made will make returning to the accounting world a little bit easier.
