Soaking in a final California sunset before heading back to Toronto tomorrow. Thankful for a sunny past couple days - learning, meeting, walking, exploring, riding rides, celebrating ☀️ Will try to bring some of the warmth and sun back (we need it!) - but you know, they charge for checked luggage 😉

So grateful for my time at #acpa25. The value of community, connection, and love over the past few days cannot be understated.
