Jan 3rd: handed over our house keys to short-term renters. They had a 10-week project with a local ad agency, which sounded like the perfect amount of time for us to get to know the San Diego area.
Jan 5th: John had outpatient surgery to remove the titanium rod from his femur (long story).
Jan 9th: After allowing a whopping 3 days for recovery (John isn't one to sit around & do nothing for too long), we hit the road...
Jan 10th: Arrived in Cali!!!
Palm Springs was on our route to San Diego from Boulder. Yes, it's kinda cheesy. One envisions hoards of retirees playing golf and baking poolside. In the middle of the dessert & everyone has pristine green lawns... very Vegas-esque. But in the middle of January, 75 degrees and sunny was a great way to spend our first week.
John's recovery from his femur rod removal was going really well. After the prescribed 10 days of being on crutches and doing nothing, the surgeon gave him a free pass to start spinning easy on the bike, restart his core exercises, and join me at the Palm Springs lap pool. This lap pool was the bomb... always empty, always warm, and huge! To once again be lap swimming outdoors in the middle of January is a luxury to us. It's the small things in life, right!
