California, Part 1
Where is that damn California sun? Three mornings we’ve been here and it’s been overcast for all of them. Sure, the Sun came out eventually each day but I want to wake up to some Sun, dang it!
We visited my brother’s grave first thing after arriving in CA. That was emotional for me. I hadn’t been to see him in the four years since the funeral. This was one of the main reasons I came on this trip. We also visited with my 90 year old grandmother. She’s not doing so well and that’s very hard to deal with as well.
On our second day here, we visited one of my favorite Huntington Beach landmarks: the pier. I took the surfer picture while standing on it. There was a competition going on but this guy was on the opposite side of the pier from it. So I guess he was just surfing for fun. We had lunch at the Ruby’s Diner at the end of the pier. I had been wanting to go there for a while. Checked off my list.
Today I took my dad to see Hellboy II while my mom spent more time with Grandma. We’re going to drive out to Palm Springs tomorrow to see some friends and relatives.
