August 14

We left San Diego this morning and drove home. It was a mostly uneventful trip back up the 5, and despite the increase in temperature, the skies were much clearer than they were on Sunday when we made the drive down, which made the scenery decidedly more beautiful.

No unique observation to share today; just an obvious one that often comes to mind for me: God's natural creations are so lovely. As we drove along the Grapevine, I was struck by the majesty of the mountains. Even though the terrain is largely dry and brown, it's still very pretty, and I'm thankful that I get the chance to see it.
