A Visit to Home, Sweet San Diego

At home with Jackson Blue and Mr. Stripey Pants
Torrey Pines beach
The cliffs at Torrey Pines
Sand Pipers at Pacific Beach
Snoozing Sea Gulls at Pacific Beach
A Sushi Deli feast. We also had garlic edamame, but it was gone by the time our rolls arrived. This is my absolute favorite sushi place. I love how elaborate all of the rolls are. There are so many flavors in each; I'm getting hungry just looking at these beauties.
Greg had never been to a desert before, so he, my mom, and I went to see it. Anza Borrego is the second largest state park and it's in San Diego County. We started on the western edge of the county, at the beach. You can see that it was 71 degrees at 7:50am.
Greg enjoyed the seaweed.

Crystal Pier, Pacific Beach
We saw the obligatory squished snake in the road.









It was much hotter on this side of the county.





The Bug was a trooper




The Salton Sea is in Imperial County, just east of the San Diego County border. My dad and me on Cowles Mountain. I love this mountain so much I also hiked it with my friend Megan while I was home.
Sunset Cliffs area
The boys, toe to toe
At the Zoo

Check out the Latin name for this fella!
Here he is "in action"

I imagine the mama meerkat is telling the young meerkat a story.

What a wonderful trip home. I'll look forward to seeing everyone again over Christmas.
~Much love, Genoa

Sure was. The official high for that day was 113, but I'm going with what I saw with my own eyes - 122. But it was a dry heat. :-)
