1. Forget about favorite September memory—going kayaking with Eaman and Teddy in Mission Bay was one of my favorite life moments. Photos sometimes make life seem so straight up joyous even when it’s not, but whenever you see a snap of us three, rest assured that it’s all real because it’s then that I’m at my happiest. When we came across the dog-friendly Aqua Adventures, we brought Teddy along for an afternoon on the water. Life jackets aren’t required for dogs and even though golden retrievers like Teddy are very capable swimmers, the handle on the jackets make it easier to pick him up when he jumped out of the kayak, which was often. At one point we didn’t allow him back on for a while half to teach him a lesson and half to swim himself tired.
2. I feel so lucky to live within walking distance to Balboa Park, and the dusk hour is its most magical time.
3. My friend from New York City, Shyema, visited last month and we got to attend the very special equinox farm hosted by Suzie’s Farm.
4. My last concert experience was seeing Lykke Li in Brooklyn a few years ago, and then I saw her again a couple weeks ago at the North Park Theater. The sound is totally whack in that venue, but LL was fantastic. It was a little heavier on her newer stuff than the older stuff I prefer, but it didn’t matter. No one can rock a kimono like this chick.
5. If you’re in San Diego, it doesn’t get more glamorous and relaxing than a staycation at the Hotel Del Coronado, the most iconic property in the city. Cabana life? It’s pretty, pretty nice.
teddy looks too adorable…i have yet to to Bailey in water.
