San Diego

OK, first off, we know it has been awhile since we blogged. No excuse, just slackers. Secondly, we really appreciate Robert working at Delta which allows us great standby privileges. Thirdly, last Friday at 3:00 PM we decided to go somewhere. We decided to find the nicest weather in the continental U.S. and San Diego won out. We left at about 8:00 PM Friday night and came home Sunday PM. Everything worked out wonderful You can even get great deals on hotels and rental cars at the last minute. We had a terrific time.



The main objective of this weekend was to relax. Here we are at one of the most beautiful beaches in America - Coronado Beach.




"Hang Ten" Can you tell which one is the statue?




The beautiful Hotel del Coronado on Coronado Island.



Patty eating some wonderful treats from the Hotel.



We did do one touristy thing by visiting the Cabrillo National Monument on the peninsula west of San Diego. We enjoyed the tidal pools . . .



The statue of Senor Cabrillo . . .



The fog coming up over the mountains on the peninsula was kind of cool.



The light house was really quite neat to tour.





San Diego across the bay. It was a spectacular day with temps in the 75-80 range (while Utah was getting more snow).




We had a great time Saturday night going downtown and visit the Gas Lamp District. Lots of great eating establishments as well as interesting people to watch.
