Up early , Hostel coffee and really nice oranges, then a short walk to a lineup for $5 donuts, no not a 1/2 dozen but $5 each. Kate had Maple bacon and I had PBJ , peanut butter and jelly. It was substantial in size and fresh but WTH $5! Went to the square where they were setting up gourmet eating tents. Sunny morning , not a cloud , beautiful blue sky. The ambient temperature only 60f but the sun was creating the warmth that my body has been missing We ate our treats then strolled the district looking for adventure. The Hostel had transport set up to take us to LaJolla but we choose City Transit, we are awesome at that now., not even engaging in other passengers dialogue. No really , it’s all good, ... read more

The last time the girls were together was then they were around 3 yrs old. My how they've grown and changed into beautiful young women. In essence its almost as if we don't know Skye, but in our hearts we do. Us moms, Lois and I have had the recent privilege of reconnecting after a 16 year hiatus. We don't look back on the whys of a friendship gone astray, we look forward to all the endeavors we are now able to share. Lois found me on my last blog when I went to NYC this past summer so you can now officially classify me as a true blog believer. Recently I said, "when life gives you a second chance at a friendship gone astray, you take it!" And then....you go to Hawaii with your daughters ... read more

I’ll never forget the first time I dipped my toes in the Pacific Ocean. It was dawn, at Cannon Beach, Oregon. We had gotten to our hotel very late the night before, and hadn’t seen the beach yet. We woke early and walked down to the nearby bakery to grab a cup of coffee and some pastries. We sat on some driftwood and watched the fog move over the sand. It was chilly, but our hands were wrapped around warm paper cups and we were gloriously happy I slipped off my moccasin and put my big toe right in the ice cold sand, wet from the waves. We had only been on the west coast 24 hours but I was already loving it. This was the second weeklong road trip we’d taken since getting married in ... read more

Fiesta Island earns its name come July with a two-weekend party and competitive bat-and-ball game at the 64th Over the Line Tournament (July 8-9, 15-16), hosted by the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club. This game has a truly unique set of rules with teams of three, wooden softball bats and no bases, just lines drawn in the sand. This is the beach scene you’ve always imagined — a party island in Mission Bay where everyone gets together for two weekends of fun. And it’s easy to attend with free admission, a bike valet and free shuttles. To participate, sign up in person on May 6 at the Beachcomber and Pennant bars in South Mission Beach or online starting May 8. Follow @ombac on Twitter for updates.
