San Diego.

May 24, 2012

As I mentioned last week, I headed over to San Diego this weekend to spend time with two of my favorite friends. My old roommate, Bekah, relocated to SD for grad school last summer and my best friend {since 4th grade} decided to fly down for her birthday. Since San Diego is a six hour jaunt from Phoenix, I drove over for the weekend as well.

It was glorious. We could have been some place boring and ugly with horrible weather and the weekend still would have been great with these two friends, but we were in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Seriously, is there anyone in the world that dislikes San Diego? I’m sure the answer is no.

From hitting up a speak easy on Friday night after Sarah flew in to bike rides around Coronado Island to free coffee at Balboa Park before church on Sunday, the whole weekend was absolutely wonderful.

I love my friends.

I love San Diego.

The end.

{Except for the pictures of course…}

1. Bekah lives right in OB.
2. Listening to Bekah play the piano.
3. Off to the speak easy.
4. Breakfast on the patio
5. Dinner on the patio under the lights.
6. Bekah’s roommate is queen of succulents. Obsessed.

Bike ride around Coronado. Best place in United States in my opinion. And we found an awesome lemonade stand. Young, female entrepreneurs.

We went to Balboa Park before church on Sunday. We stopped by a coffee cart and all three of us were treated to free coffee for Bekah’s birthday. Thanks for being born, Bekah!
Love you, girls. Love San Diego. Let’s plan our next trip ASAP.

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
