Once again, I wore my ny collection ombre sweater, since it's so comfy and flattering. I wore plain black leggings and black suede boots with tassels. The kicker was my red satin Ferrari jacket
We got business class seats. On the way down, we were on a double decker train, so we sat up top for a better view.
Here I am, at the Irvine Metrolink station, waiting to depart.
It was a beautiful day, sunny but cold.
Here I am in my seat. The train was pretty empty.
We passed through many beautiful beach towns. These first two pictures are of the pier in San Clemente.
About a half hour later, we passed the decommissioned nuclear power plant at San Onofre.
San Onofre also has a very popular state beach - lots of people camp there.
Then we passed through Oceanside, and I snapped two pictures of the harbor. When I was a kid growing up in San Diego, Oceanside got pretty run down. Back then, it was a mecca for Marines from nearby Camp Pendleton - they would go there to party and meet cute girls from California. it has been cleaned up, no surprise, since beach real estate in California has gotten very pricey.
This picture is after leaving Solana Beach and heading down toward Del Mar.
We got to Old Town, which is a historic part of San Diego.
It was fairly crowded, and only three restaurants were open. As I was posing by the sign, a family went by with their pet bunny.
There were two Mexican restaurants open, but the wait was at least a half hour, so we went to an outdoor restaurant that served a variety of food.
We relaxed in the town square after lunch.
The Cosmopolitan Hotel has a nice bar and dining room, but alas, they were closed.
Before leaving, I HAD to get my picture by the covered wagon (along with all the other kids).
Yesterday, we just did a lot of stuff around the house. Today, I am back at work for 2 days before having another 4 day weekend for New Year's Day.
This is what I wore today:
This is a black knit dress from White House Black Market. I added the red ribbon sash. It has 4 tiers and then a flounce at the hem.
On top, I wore a red leather jacket by id Sport.
I wore all silver and garnets today. My cluster necklace was a gift from my mom a few years back.
On my right arm, a garnet/opal bracelet that my om gave me for my fortieth birthday, and a Colleen Lopez ring that I got for myself last year.
On my left arm, a garnet bracelet that was another gift from my mom, and a white gold infinity band and round solitaire.
And that's about it for today. So let's do some linking:
