As I blogged about here and here, I went to SoCal over the weekend. It was never warmer than 70 degrees all weekend and was cloudy most of the time as well. This was really weird because I had never been down there when it had been less than 80. Other than the weather, the trip was great. Short but great. I traveled on Friday, was there Saturday and yesterday, and I got home early this morning.
Here are some highlights:
- Well my sister graduated. Congrats Karissa. Your grades were a lot better than mine 🙂 Seeing her graduate was the whole purpose of the trip. Rick Warren spoke at the graduation. He talked about Moses’ staff in Exodus. Good message, long ceremony. 690 people graduated, it took one hour to have all of them walk across the stage.
- I had a good talk with my grandparents about my words in the Seattle Times. They hadn’t heard about it yet. You should have seen my grandma’s face when I told her what I said. Priceless. We disagree, but I’m glad they were open enough to at least talk with me about it.
- I was in San Diego for 5 hours, and I was outside of 10 minutes. That is weird. My cousin and his wife are in the Navy down there. It was humbling to hear of the ways that even them (non active duty) sacrifice for my safety.
- It was a mini family reunion away from home. 11 family members in one spot. That doesn’t happen very often with my family.
- I still have never been to In and Out…..
How was your long weekend?
