Other than just the thrill of being on the road, the drive to San Diego is basically just boring! The drive down today was under lowering clouds and with light traffic. It seemed like everyone got off on Leucadia to make a run through Starbuck's right off the freeway. It took me 20 minutes in the drive thru to pick up a latte and a box lunch. And it was raining! The drizzle started just south of Oceanside and came down pretty hard in places. Fortunately most drivers slowed down so didn't see any skid outs.
This image is while driving through Camp Pendleton with the high security fence down the center strip. Ocean off to the right.
VERY light traffic heading south. Still wild mustard and other wild flowers blooming. That funny little "flag" over the sign is a chip in my windshield. A new windshield soon.
Right through the middle of this enlarged picture you can see the surf. So near and yet so far away.
Closer into north San Diego the rain stopped, but the clouds persisted and our group actually met inside of Judy's house. It was so good to be together with the art quilt ladies and most everyone had something to share.
I was the least productive and shared another background made of scraps cut to even up yardage for strips. They vary in width, length, evenness, and sometimes I need to use a little fabric marker to fill in the thin spaces. This background will have some shore birds appliqued where appropriate.

I saw a teaser for an article online about Amtrak. The accompanying picture was a train on a coast...I would guess about Leucadia!
A couple years ago, I took the La Jolla Village drive exit monthly for dinner and a movie. I don't think that theater is operating anymore.
