One of my college roommates recently found me on MySpace. It had been about 10 years since we last had contact, and my trip to SoCal was the perfect opportunity to reconnect in person. Much has happened in our lives all these years, but Dale has not changed a bit. She married her college sweetheart, Ken, right after college (I attended their wedding), and they run a successful chiropractic practice in Irvine. They've travelled extensively, and about a year and a half ago, welcomed the most adorable little boy into their lives. It was quite a fun little reunion!
First stop - lunch in beautiful Laguna Beach, with a stroll along Main Beach. This makes me miss living in SoCal.
Tide pools on the north end of the beach.
Bird Rock is populated with large pelicans (and lots of bird poop).
Cool fossil in the rock?
Lovely Main Beach
After lunch, we headed back to the Ericksons' home to play with 15-month-old Ethan. What a little charmer!
My new buddy Ethan.
Mommy makes for a fun ride!
Pounding daddy on the head is fun too!
Happy family
Another college buddy, Jerry, came to pick me up on his way back to San Diego. Jerry lived directly above me in the dorms during our freshman year.
