Reunion

A few months ago, I got an email from a friend I haven't seen in quite a few years saying she'd be in San Diego this weekend for a race, and could we maybe get together? I was thrilled. Michelle and I had worked together eons ago - I was in the New Jersey office and she worked at the company's headquarters in Charlotte, NC - but have managed to stay friends since I left the company in 2002. In 2004 and 2005 we saw each other at professional conferences, but since then, our communication has mainly been through email and Facebook. Well, today was the day for us to see each other again! Jim, Erin, and I drove down to San Diego this morning, and picked up Michelle at her hotel. We drove to Del Mar for lunch at the Waterfall Terrace restaurant at the L'Auberge Del Mar hotel, and then to Dog Beach for a visit to a special park there. It was such a fantastic afternoon! It certainly didn't feel like we hadn't seen each other in five years (although last time she saw Erin, Erin was not even four years old yet!). I hope we can manage another visit soon!
