Beautiful Landing

Last week I was in San Diego to see Ben and his mom. To get there, I flew down, and then we drove back up the coast the same way we did last Fall. We had an awesome time, and Ben was rewarded for his eight hours of driving by Max with an outstanding dinner. ]This dinner deserves it's own post, which will come later in the week.]

Certainly spending 2 days driving up the coast, only to then turn around and return the 3rd day, is not the best form of travel. But Ben loves to drive and really wanted us to spend our time this way. There is something special that happens when you take a road trip. It's a different way of spending your time together. You see things on the roadside and share the experience of that. You tell stories and make each other laugh. You listen to music and spend time in silence together. It’s one of my favorite ways to spend a vacation, as long as there is air conditioning and music. Max and I have taken a few road trips together without these luxuries, and this can make things much harder.

When I landed in San Diego, it was already dark, and I took these photos from the plane. I am so in love with them. I love blurry photos, and these fall directly in line with that aesthetic. I may paint these huge, or just print the photos big, but I think I will be doing something with these images. To see all the images, click here.
