Went on a nice little vacation with the wife last week.  Nice and much-needed, I might add.  We headed back to California (Crescent City, or thereabout anyway) to visit my mom and step-dad. 

First things first, the weather was fantastic.  We’ve had 30+ days of 100+ degree heat in Texas so far this summer, with several records shattered (including the rarely mentioned “record-low high temp”).  We landed in Medford and, after spending the night with temps in the 60’s, we headed to Mom’s where highs were in the 80’s and lows were in the 50’s.  Better still were the temps in Crescent City itself – fogged in with highs in the 60’s. 

I had to wear a jacket.  It was lovely. 

I also managed to squeeze in some golf with my step-dad on a great little course with temps in the mid-70’s and a slight breeze.  My game may have not been stellar, but the weather was. 

Outside of enjoying the weather, we ate well, read some (but not enough), visited with the fam, and on the last day went back to the Medford area so I could take the wife on a tour of my alma mater and downtown Ashland. 

All-in-all, a great vacation.
