I grew up in Southern California, other than four years of my childhood that were spent in India. We were blessed to spend five days here visiting friends and family in early November. We stayed at first with a friend who lives in Capistrano Beach, near Dana Point and San Clemente.
One afternoon, Nate took the scooter to the park nearby. No words are necessary; enjoy the photos essay!
A few days later we went to Oceanside to meet up with a friend.
We had lunch next to the pier while we caught up, then had a walk down the pier. Yes, this was November 3rd!
It was wonderful to be in this lovely area, soak in the sunshine, and to catch up with old friends!
