leaving San Diego

we left our condo in San Diego on Friday -- here is one last picture from the city; the Horton Mall, which is downtown. Usually, I wouldn't think of posting a picture of a mall, but this one was strange - it was just like a multi-level indoor mall, but it had no roof, so it was outdoors -- it reminded me of the Rideau Centre in Ottawa, without a roof and with more colour!

our final adventure in San Diego was to go to a PGA tournament on the day before we left; yes, we saw Tiger, and Phil, and Mike in person -- it was all terribly exciting! (I imagine at least most of you know the first person in that list!) -- unfortunately, you were not allowed to take pictures.

Now we are en route to our February pad in Carpinteria, outside of Santa Barbara. We will be there tomorrow, and drove via Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs, where we are right now -- Tony is playing some hoity-toity golf course today (where they played the Bob Hope Classic this year, I believe), and I am blogging poolside, starting happy hour so things are all in order when he gets back.
pictures from Joshua Tree and Palm Springs soon... i have never seen so much sun in my life

hope everyone is well!
