Long time residents and northern visitors bemoan the cooler weather this winter. I really appreciated the cool wind yesterday afternoon when we visited John's Pass. The sun was San Diego warm rather than Miami hot, and I didn't spend the day in fear of sunburn.
The pier at John's pass was busy but not crowded -- bad for business, I suppose, but more enjoyable for visitors to this fun venue for people and pelican watching. We had lunch at Bubba Gump's outside bar and could actually find a spot at the rail to enjoy the activity at the dock. Lots of boats, fish, sea birds, and tourists, of course.

We spent the later afternoon at the pool where the competent mother of four little boys played Marco Polo with her 10-year-old twins. At the end of the afternoon, I was, once again, the only swimmer. This morning, we woke up to rain: perfect swimming weather.
The sky seems to be clearing now, the 70-degree temps are unseasonably cool. Perfect weather for vacationing Minnesotans.
