We got out the door early this morning. The boys went to 8:30 Mass, so I made some progress on the book I brought along: Bright Lights, Big City. An ex bought it for me more than twenty years ago, and I’m finally getting around to reading it. Kind of ironic.
We had a 10 a.m. brunch reservation at the Del Coronado, a 126-year-old, high-end hotel on Coronado Island. Waffles and bacon and eggs and pastries and all sorts of delish food. On the patio. (I got to sit under the heatolator; it was just a tad chilly.) Yum.
We walked the beach after lunch—always on my bucket list during winter trips to one of the coasts.
We spent the rest of the day walking through an outdoor art fair and then strolling through the shops in Solanas Beach. We spent a lot of time in a store called The David Alan Collection. They sell a lot of imported artifacts from Asia as well as artisanal items made from reclaimed teak and ironwood. They have a huge warehouse space in the basement of the store filled chock-a-block with fascinating items, and one of the managers spent a lot of time telling us about the pieces and the process for acquiring them.
Oops. There went the dinner bell. Burgers in tonight and maybe some Yahtzee.
