Yesterday I got the word that my license was FINALLY issued and I am going to start working on Monday!! I am so excited to start... I was definitely running out of things to keep me busy!
I decided to go do something fun and different today for my last weekend of freedom! I drove over to Oceanside this afternoon. I was planning on going to a beach closer to L.A., but then found out there are toll roads that you have to have a prepaid account to drive on... so until I figure that out I am not going to deal with it! The drive to Oceanside was only about an hour, and so pretty once I got off the freeway. The road was winding through hills and produce farms, with avocado and tomato stands along the side of the road.
Funny story... once I got into Oceanside, I had to go to the bathroom SO bad, so I thought I would just pull into a gas station really quickly. I went to 5 gas stations before I found one with restrooms! SERIOUSLY. What gas station doesn't have restrooms! Apparently in Oceanside they don't believe in them. Then after all that hassle, I pulled up to the parking lot by the beach and there was a restroom right there. Just my luck!
So after driving all over Oceanside, I finally found this little beach, but it wasn't much to see so I got back in the car and drove closer to the pier. I have been here twice before, but it was fun to be back. It is so pretty and I love the ocean! It was really windy, and too cold to swim or lay out on the beach, but still felt perfect in shorts and a sweatshirt. And yes, I did take this little excursion by myself because I don't know anyone here yet. But it was still fun and I'm glad I went. And hopefully I will start meeting people tomorrow at church and at work on Monday!
I came across this poor one-footed seagull on the pier... so of course I took a picture:

Good luck at work tomorrow! Can't wait to hear about it.
Looks like a fun day trip, and the seagull is a little creepy! I hope tomorrow goes well!
Love the pier there at Oceanside! Well, just love the ocean anywhere. How fun to just decide to take off to the beach!!!
