A day at the beach

One of the benefits of going to southern California for Melissa's softball tournaments is...visiting southern California. Jason and Yvonne farmed out the boys a couple weekends ago and took Melissa to San Diego for five games over two days at a college showcase tournament.

Games were done early the first day, so we went to Torrey Pines State Beach and enjoyed great weather, a quiet beach, and some hiking trails through the Torrey Pines Preserve. On the way home, we stopped at Mad Madeline's restaurant to sample the cheeseburgers that were voted "California's best." There was no argument from us.
