San Diego Sunsets

Watching the sunset over the Pacific while sitting on the cliffs of La Jolla is an incredible experience. Even though it was a bit cloudy, it was still gorgeous. There is something profound about the sun setting and rising, whether or not it is symbolizing a significant event in your life. For me, most of the sunsets and sunrises I have experienced are because something huge is happening in my life. Like staying up and watching the sunrise over the beach the day after high school graduation, or staying up to toast the sunrise on the last day of our first semester of college. Or sitting out on the drill field unknowingly with your future husband until the sun rises over the blue ridge mountains. Or watching the sunset in Louisa with good friends on a girls weekend to just enjoy life. Or watching the sunset off the coast of California because you just moved across the country. It’s elegant and cliché, but wonderful and symbolic. I love it! I think we’ll go watch quite a few sunsets here. Maybe pack a picnic and just enjoy the peace and beauty of God’s creation. Be prepared for an awesome evening of calm and beauty when you come and visit us!

The sunsets out at sea are spectacular. Can't wait to take Angela on a cruise and show her one!

Ahoy there Ensign Hornblower. Do you still have a fair wind at your back or are the tropics getting active(looks like it on the satellite) By the way the Opie Hornblower is classic. Now you need to see the movie with Gregory Peck as Hornblower!
