These are a few of my favorite things . . .

As stated in my last post, I'm enjoying a more relaxed pace of life out here in California than I knew during my grad school days. Today, I've decided to share with you my favorite thing to do out here. My parents live about a ten minute drive from the ocean, so when I have a nice chunk of time, I like to hop into the car and drive to downtown Carlsbad (the next city south of here) to the Starbucks there. I usually get my standard - a grande peppermint latte. Then I grab my coffee and my book and walk the five minutes down to the Pacific ocean.






See the pictures below. This is really what it looks like. :)
