  • Hello from San Diego!

    Our flight was beautifully smooth and uneventful, just as a flight should be.  San Diego is a lovely city, and a whole lot bigger than we'd expected.  We drove over to Coronado Island, thinking we'd explore the Hotel del Coronado, but seeing as how they want ten bucks for visitors to park for two hours, we decided to pass.  It's a nifty-looking hotel, though.


    This evening we went to San Diego's Old Town to poke around and do a little shopping:



    Here are Dmitry and Don perusing the finger puppets in a store:



    Okay, Don's perusing them; Dmitry seems to have been checking out some stuffed animals.  To the left of and behind Don's head you can see a keen stuffed bat.  I love bats so bought myself one. 


    We ate dinner at the Cosmopolitan there in Old Town, which is a Mexican food restaurant.  Dmitry had a shrimp burrito, if you can imagine such a thing.  Yuck!


    Tomorrow we've got to get up super early so as to get out to the Marine Recruit Depot or base or whatever it is.  Guess it'd help were I to look up exactly where it is we're going, huh?


    Think I'll go do that....


    Later! 


    P.S. I almost forgot!  Laura called this afternoon to say that shortly after they entered San Diego county, Joe officially finished high school!  He'd taken his work with him, you see, and has been diligently working away on it during the drive from Fort Worth.  Congratulations, Joe!

  • Very cool!  I didn't know that y'all had left.  I didn't pay enough attention to the dates you'd talked about before.  It's too bad I wasn't stationed in San Diego.  That'd be like nabbin' two birds with one stone.  Oh well.  Christmas here we come!  With how fast time seems to be flying, we'll be there before we know it.  Have fun!!

  • Yea, you made it, I'm beginning to dislike the idea of flying because of all the hassles. And I love to fly. Loved the pic of old town San Diego. Have fun and a happy landing coming home! Mom
