Sunday, the way La Jolla does it

You walk down from the village, coffee in hand, and within twenty steps you’re in front of cars most people only see in books — a 1930s Duesenberg, a Ferrari that won at Le Mans, a Porsche someone restored from a barn in Ramona. The kids find the pinewood derby on their own. You find the judging. By noon you’re sitting on the grass with a fish taco from Lionfish, and at two the band on the Cove stage starts playing the exact Motown you were hoping for. By four you realize the ticket was the least of what you paid for the afternoon.
