2026.03.28 – 2024.04.02

Our spring break was spent wandering San Diego, CA. Our only plans were our flights, our accommodations and a few hastily written notes. A good lesson and reminder that often the best experiences are those that aren't meticulously curated. Grateful our for time at the beach, marveling at tide pools, watching the planes land, exploring Balboa Park, and time with our family.
