A Day Out

Today ended up being one of those days where everything felt simple, but still worth remembering.

I started the morning with breakfast at Denny's. Nothing fancy, just one of those places that feels reliable no matter what time you walk in. There's something kind of comforting about sitting in a booth and knowing exactly what you're getting.

After that, I headed over to KHS Ice Arena in Anaheim. It's tucked away in a light industrial area, not too far from State College or Katella. If you didn't know it was there, you'd probably drive right past it.

I parked on the side of the building without realizing the main entrance was on the complete opposite side, so I definitely walked around more than I needed to. Still, it gave me a chance to take in the place before going inside.

Once inside, I went ice skating. I'm not amazing at it, but there's something really nice about gliding around the rink, even if it's a little awkward at times. It was one of those moments where you stop thinking too much and just focus on staying upright.

Later that evening, I ended the day with dinner at TGI Fridays. After skating, sitting down somewhere warm with food felt earned. It was a good way to slow things back down before heading home.

Nothing huge happened today, but between breakfast, skating, and dinner, it felt like a full day.

Today ended up being way more of a road day than I expected.

After going to the post office and knocking out a few boring errands, I finally headed out... I made a small detour and stopped by the Antelope Valley Inn Best Western in Lancaster.

I wandered around the pool area for a bit. It was quiet, almost empty. The late afternoon light made everything feel strangely calm.

Once I was back on the road, I passed this water tank with cherries painted on it, and that alone was enough to make me pull over. The signs along the road promised fresh cherries, local produce, and most importantly fudge. I had high hopes.



The place was Murray Family Farms, from the outside it looked cozy and inviting, like one of those places you expect to smell like fruit and sugar the moment you walk in. Sadly... there was no fudge inside. I checked. Still, the stop was worth it.

After that disappointment (I’m still thinking about the fudge), I kept driving and eventually made it to El Pollo Loco in Gilroy, right at the 152 / 101 junction. At that point, food was non-negotiable. There’s something incredibly grounding about eating fast food on a long drive.
