🧵My step daughter, Mia, graduated from college and I offered her a long weekend wherever she wanted to go.

She picked San Diego, which was a short flight to maximize the time on the ground adventuring.

I researched hotels, sites and restaurants for our trip. I upgraded us to first class. We had two aisle seats adjacent to each other not actually beside each other.

As the crew started to prepare for departure the seat beside me was open so Mia was about to move over and sit next to me when three more people boarded.
