View of Pacific Beach from Mission Bay Park



Yep, those are two jet-skiers on the left………..& palm trees on the right!
In the background is Pacific Beach–not an actual “beach” but a town–known for its bars and dance clubs

Growing up in San Diego, you inevitably end up taking the water/ocean for granted because if you’re like me, summer get-togethers or particular holidays were always at the beach or parks. Gosh, there’s Mission Beach, Fiesta Island, Coronado, Ski Beach, Crown Point, the list goes on and on. Tourists think San Diego is the coolest place to live, and for the most part it is. It only hit me how much I missed the water when I moved inland (my way of saying nowhere near the coast, LOL).

Mission Bay Park is one of my favorite spots. Depending on which day you go and which part of the park you go to, you’ll find people walking, roller-skating, biking, picnicking, playing volleyball, throwing frisbees, flying kites, etc. If people-watching is your thing, this is one of the best places. I sometimes go here to walk. One of my good friends and I used to meet here (or at Mission Beach which is a lot more “livelier” with *interesting* people) for our weekly Saturday walking/brainstorming/girl talk sessions, then end up having brunch afterwards.

The water is mesmerizing. If you had any worries beforehand, they’ll soon be washed away after staring out into the deep blue. 🙂

Note:  This area is right off I-5, Clairemont Drive/Mission Bay Drive exit. Head west once you get on exit, turn right at stop sign (I think the street is East Mission Bay Drive), and make a left into parking lot.

I'm trying to get back into posting more here. I guess you could say I've been distracted. Since late February, I've been reading everything I can about COVID-19 (from reputable news sites like CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, and tweets from medical professionals). This virus is a monster. From what was initially a virus that was detrimental to the older population is now affecting children and young adults as well. It is no longer a respiratory illness, but one whose symptoms can vary and be just as deadly. The scary part is there is no standard treament or vaccine yet so the best thing hubs and I can do is be prepared. Early on (late Feb), we bought extra cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer, and toilet paper (LOL). In March, I bought everything I needed to make fabric masks (i.e. sewing machine & gadgets, cotton fabrics, non-woven interfacing for the middle layer, thread, rotary cutter, etc). The following month, I started sewing. The pattern I used called for 7" elastic loop for each mask but that wasn't gonna work universally 'cause hubby required a larger size and I needed smaller. So for everyone else who wanted a mask, I cut the elastic (shown here) so they can adjust the fit to their liking. #fabricmask #3layermask #noseandmouthcovering #pandemictimes #covid19 #thenewnormal #shelterinplace2020 #willwearmaskpubliclyuntiligetvaccinated #germany #igersgermany #germany_insta #ig_germany #rhinelandpfalz #rhinelandpalatinate #rheinlandpfalz
