here are some of the pros and cons of the farra summer travelquest…
pros:
riding in the car with wanda is always fun
first step in the pacific ocean
great gas mileage (36 mpg)… the hyundai elantra rocks
seeing old friends
storytelling
no reason to get up in the morning
visits to petco to see the padres…amazing stadium
smell of salt air on the coast
looking at the mountains everyday…and knowing that i could be in them whenever i wanted
carne asada, rolled tacos with guacamole and cheese, and the mighty fish taco in it’s native habitat
cool evenings
sleeping with the windows open
double doubles
driving down pacific coast highway
visiting the places where wanda and i grew up
visiting the places where wanda and i became “mike and wanda”
seeing our old home in east san diego
seeing the school safety light on el cajon blvd that wanda fought so hard to get
memories at chollas lake little league field…the birth of my boys’ love of baseball
tony qwynn stadium, la jolla cove, fourth and broadway, and torrey pines
carl’s jr. on harbor blvd, the dorms on titan drive, the drive up beach blvd, angeles crest camp, and angels stadium
reconnecting with our extended family
remembering youth ministry in the 80’s
hope? it will always be pcc
the batchelor party
a wedding on the beach
being with both sons, all of our women, and the little man…for a whole week…awesome
seeing holden in his first padre hat and his first padre game…geez, i’m a die hard fan
el pollo loco, del taco, las barcas, lucci’s deli, adams street donuts, jose mccoy’s strips and cheese, munchies pizza, rubios, robertos, santanas, casa de pico, and in ‘n out
the RV
the novak compound
the yukon, the forerunner, and the lexus
scott, gayla, jordan, becky, mike, steph, drew, laney, damon, cindy, demi, and the drakester…couldn’t have done it without you guys!
a drive over the coronado bridge…just as spectacular as i remember
relaxation
really missing people and knowing we were missed
telling our so cal friends about texas barbeque and lightening storms and the first cool night in the fall
time to think…time to reflect…time to be grateful
excitement to come home
first sunday back at north point after being gone
cool pictures
getting off the plane at dfw and being hit with 98 degree temps…as strange as it sounds
walking into a clean house when we returned
always knowing that so cal is where we are from and we can always go back
knowing that lewisville is home
cons:
none
