For our last hurrah of 2012 we went to San Diego for an overnight trip. Our first stop was Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. This place holds special memories for D and me because it is where D proposed just about 10 years ago. We hadn’t been back since, so it was nice to return with k and n. We were also able to use one of our state park parking passes, which saved us about $10 (normally $15)—score!
There were a lot of people enjoying the nice weather and getting some exercise in the great outdoors. On the advice of the park ranger, we went on the Razor Point trail and Guy Fleming trail, both of which she recommended for kids.
Torrey Pines—the rarest type of pine tree in the United States, according to the sign by the visitor center.
Did you notice k has bangs now?
These are agave, aka century plants, according to the person D asked on the trail. She seemed quite knowledgeable and eager to share on the topic, so we’re trusting she’s correct.
