San Diego

We had the opportunity to go to San Diego for a few days.  Brian had a conference Tuesday through Thursday.  We left Sunday, stopped in Yuma for Brian to do a couple of cases. 

 We arrived in San Diego early afternoon and headed to Point Loma. We explored the lighthouse and the tide pools. Because I wasn't paying attention I took a pretty nasty fall - skinned knee, bruises on my left leg and right arm, really sore left arm. Being a trooper (or afraid to admit it hurt!) we continued on to the Naval Cemetery.  Acres of headstones causes one to contemplate what is really important in life.


On Monday we went to Sea World.  We haven't been there in probably 15 years.  It was a blast.  Being a Monday and January there were very few people there.  We were able to really see the exhibits and we rode the roller coaster twice - back to back with no wait!!

We made a new rule - we couldn't eat at any place that was available at home.  So we had some amazing sea food at Blue Water, good Mexican (hey, we live in Arizona and travel to Mexico), wonderful BBQ and delicious pizza.  Needless to say - Brian was in heaven!!

After Brian finished his training each day we explored a bit - heading down to the docks to walk among the boats one evening and to the beach the next. 


We walked along Ocean Beach for about two hours - I played in the water, Brian worried about his pants getting wet!!  We found two sand dollars as the tide was coming in. 

And of course - God showed us some of His most amazing work in the sunset.  There are times I wonder if earth has this much beauty - how will we be able to take in Heaven....

We headed home Thursday evening because I have to work and Sarah was in the hospital.  You can pretty much bet the next post will be about our new granddaughter....

God is so good.
