San Diego

We had so much fun last summer celebrating my Mother and Father In Law's anniversary in San Diego that they rented the same house and all 16 of us headed over to San Diego for a short vacation.

On our first full day, Stan and Ethan went on their annual deep sea fishing trip.  They love going on the boat and spending half of the day at sea.


Since I get sea sick and Nikki has no desire to go, we went with the rest of the family to Scripps Aquarium in La Jolla.

La Jolla.  I could have sat on the balcony all day looking at this view.  The weather was perfect and the view was gorgeous.

Oh no!  Nikki was eaten by a shark

Later that afternoon, Steve, Barb and I took Floyd and Bea to Balboa Park to see the organ concert at the Organ Pavilion.  I've never been to Balboa Park.  This Pavilion was gorgeous.  On this day, there were kids from 10-18 performing on this huge pipe organ. They were all so talented.



On the next day, the younger kids went to Lego Land.  My kids really had no desire to go there, so we decided to drive around San Diego.  We had intended on stopping at a couple of colleges (yikes!) for Ethan to tour, but decided just to have fun that day.  We started off in Pacific Beach and walked around.  Then we headed towards Point Loma.

We did stop at one college...Point Loma.  This school probably has one of the most beautiful campuses around.  Here is a picture of the baseball field.  Hit a home run and it's in the ocean.  

The third day in San Diego was spent at Coronado Beach.  We had such perfect weather the whole time we were in San Diego and beach day was no exception.
