A Fine Wedding and More
|Had a terrific few days in San Diego (Encinitas, actually) last weekend for Jessica and Eric’s wedding. We celebrated Kimberly’s birthday a couple days after the wedding. We were forewarned about San Diego’s “June Gloom”, but the weather was perfect the entire time. Chronologically, we arrived Friday and had a late lunch and some ocean viewing at La Jolla before checking in at the motel. Saturday was wedding rehearsal, an afternoon at the San Diego County Fair, and rehearsal dinner. Sunday was the wedding. Monday was lunch with my high school buddy, Mel Morris and his wife at a fine beach front restaurant called the Poseidon. Tuesday was Kim’s birthday, spent the afternoon at a major park in San Diego, and evening with birthday dinner at Pacific Beach. Wednesday back to Kansas (boo!).|

|A fantastic experience Monday night was the bioluminescent plankton in the surf at Swami Beach behind the Self-Realization Fellowship Ashram Center in Encinitas. As if a full moon and clear sky with surf noise wasn’t enough, the breaking waves were lit up from the inside by streaks of blue light. I did a lot of googling but only found one little image of the phenomenon, shown to the right, which I took from a web page here.|

I uploaded some wedding photos and others pics from the trip at my Flickr Account.
Kim says:
I had the best time ever. I’m glad I had the chance to be with everyone for a while.
I think we definitely lucked out with the weather. I got back home to San Francisco and it’s “june gloom” here. A tiny bit of sun peeks through the huge yellow/grey clouds. The good thing about this weather is that it’s the tiniest bit humid, so it’s not as cold as it could be. But the wind! No chance of wearing a skirt anytime soon. Hellooo Marilyn!
