9:28p - day upon days
Hi... :)
I meant to write this post on this past Tuesday, so it's taken me that long to get to actually writing!
So this past Tuesday morning, John and I drove to Mahattan Beach to pick up a car that my dad bought from a guy there. This guy lives 2 blocks from the ocean, so we got to see the ocean, and it was super windy so the ocean was just so beautiful! Really big waves! And that made me so happy to see, I don't think I went to the beach a single time this month, so I was glad. This guy lives in a townhouse(?) there, with an incredible sweeping view of the ocean, which also made me so glad to look out his living room window and see that. He had three surfboards in his garage (a garage so tiny it was more like a closet for a car haha :)
Then we went to Fry's and ate at Boston Market, in Hawthorne? I'm not sure where we were at that point, but it was near the freeway and when you got off the freeway there it said 'welcome to Hawthorne'. Then I drove the car back to my house. And here's the point of this- I was cruising up the freeway(the 405 north) in this car(a Subaru SVX), listening to the radio(K-EARTH 101) and it was a beautiful sunny day, with big white fluffy clouds, clear blue sky, breeze, and I just couldn't help thinking
MAN...I am so GLAD to be in Southern California today!!!
Four to Six months from now, I'll be moving out of Southern California. I keep feeling like I will be moving back here some day, although I don't know how that is, because I don't see us as ever being able to afford a house in Southern California, and we really want to live in a house someday. But for now, I'm leaving. And I feel like I really want to make the most of the time I have left here.
I have two whole days off, without even school, so one of these days, we are going down to visit our friends Tom and Erica and their new baby Audrey, and they are near San Diego, so I think we should go to the beach while we're there, because I HAVE to go to the beach this weekend. Maybe somewhere on the way, La Jolla, that's on the way right? A while ago I read an article in the newspaper about "Trestles", a famous surf spot down there somewhere that looked really pretty, like it was a meadow almost right up to the beach, really pretty. Maybe that was an old picture. Anyways...if we don't go to the beach there then I think I'll go up to Zuma Beach, or maybe down to Redondo Beach because I've never been there. I like Huntington beach but it's kind of far. OH MY GOSH...I just had the BEST idea...
So whatever day of these two days we don't go to vist T and E, we plan on visiting the Beach Boys Memorial in Hawthorne, since we are both currently Beach Boys obsessed. And I just thought--- we should do that in the mid morning, and then afterwards, we can continue on south to ABALONE COVE!!!! As a late Valentine's Day trip. Yes! :D Let me go check the weather in San Pedro....it will be 70F on both days, so if it's not too windy, then it will be pleasant. Oh, I am so smart. What a great idea.
Now I have to go because I SRSLY have to do schoolwork tonight. Have a good weekend....
