Hubby and I took a trip to St Louis this week.  A trip to visit with family and friends.

What do you do on the plane to pass the time away?  I played games on my phone like:  Reversi, Sudoku and the most fun was playing Color Touch.

I took pix the other day when I had my mani/pedi and found color touch to be a fun app to toy with this pic.  + the fact that it helped the time pass quickly…

Soon we landed and were greeted with a heat wave, like I’ve never experienced in all my live long days.  There was no gradual introduction to summer as it clearly slapped us in the face.  And I recall exclaiming to hubby “This is so UN San Diego”.  I’ve been a little under the weather ever since.

We quickly gathered our things and secured our rental car, made our way to the hotel and bathed in our nice air-conditioned room.

That evening we went to visit hubby’s son Ryan and his choice was to go for a little sit down at the local Starbucks.  Anyone who knows me well, knows I have a soft spot in my heart for the place.  But I snubbed it kindly while visiting with Ryan while he enjoyed his iced something or other.  Great visit we had.

Yesterday we got to spend time with Ryan and Lauren.  Mostly Ryan as his car was in need of attention.  It was a long ordeal, ask the mechanic.  All is can say is at day’s end, the mechanic offered Ryan a car and at day’s end, Ryan secured that new car!  Not without hubby doing his homework, but I won’t get into that long story here.  We can all say what a great day and deal all the way around!  And we topped off our evening spending quality family time at Panera Bread.

Sometime during the evening hours back at the hotel, I caught myself dreaming of home.

And I spent all night long in Southern California.  In my dreams…
