The View Tonight

Spring break.

Oceanside, California.

Way last May Gary's mom decided to sell her timeshare, but she gave us the final week before it's gone at the end of March. What a gift! We promised our girl two years ago if she made the honor roll, we'd bring her here. And she kept her part of the deal. So now we're keeping ours.

My sis Mary and her hubby took us to the airport this morning, and we caught the flight to San Diego. From there we got on Amtrak.

It's 30 miles from San Diego to Oceanside, but it took four hours to get here. The train broke down and had to be "towed." (This marks the third time we've taken a vacation and then sat and sat on a train that wasn't moving.)

It was worth the wait, as you can see. I am no great photographer, but a subject like this can make anybody look good.

It has been more than a year since we had a few days of rest all together. And now we have this view from our balcony. Thank you, Lord!
