Summer fun in March?

SAN DIEGO DAY 5

I loved Carlsbad CA.  Wendell and I have officially decided to retire at Carlsbad by the Sea.  The only thing that I brought back that I wish I hadn't was a bad cold.  The next picture says it all.  Bye, sunny CA, we will be back!!!!!  RJ, it was so great to see you! 

The car ride home!  Ceci and I slept almost the whole way home from MPLS.  Poor Wendell had to drive.

SAN DIEGO Day 4

After breakfast we headed to the beach to pick up rocks.   I LOVE the beach.  I got some great pics of Ceci.  I don't think Wendell loved the beach as much as me but he was a good sport.  Then we headed to Disney.  I told Wendell that I felt like we were herded like cattle for most of the day, and it was SO busy.  Ceci didn't see any princesses, but did meet Mickey, Buzz and some other characters.  We were all tired by the end of the day and all Ceci wanted to do was "go to her pool and swim" by the end of the day.  It was an awesome day!!!

SAN DIEGO Day 3

We decided to head to the oceanside pier the third day.  It was so much fun to walk on the beach and watch the surfers, most of whom were older dudes!  We walked out to Rosie's resturant on the pier.


Next we drove though a small part of Camp Pendleton which is the Marine Base.  My dad was stationed there in the 60's so we thought we had to at least drive a round a bit!  Then we met RJ and the all famous In and Out Burger which we all loved!  He took us to his school, Palomar College, which was very pretty!  To finish out the day, Wendell and I went to a wine-tasting at Witch Creek Winery and supper at Los Olos.  It was a fun day!

SAN DIEGO Day 2

On DAY TWO we visited the San Luis Rey Mission in Oceanside.

It was a very serene, tranquil place.  And OLD!

Next we ventured back downtown to visit the USS Midway aircraft carrier.  It was HUGE! 

We then went swimming in the pool, which is all Ceci wanted to do the entire time we were there.  We met RJ's "friend" Morgan, and we went out for a nice supper. 

SAN DIEGO Day 1

HEY!!!!!  At Christmas I asked Wendell if we could go to California to visit RJ.  He agreed!!!! So, the planning began.  We stayed at Cari Haaland's house and flew out of MPLS early in the am and landed in San Diego at about noon.  We picked up our car (I just may buy a Hyundai Elantra :0) and headed to Old Town.  After lunch at MaryJane's we explored the harbor area, then headed north on the 5.  Wow, nothing like some CA traffic!  I did not realize So Cal was so hill/mountainous.  We arrived at the Beach Terrace Inn, Carlsbad, which was very cozy. We checked out the beach, which featured awesome sand and big, big waves!  That night we wandered around the village which was very nice.  We slept really good with the surf pounding right outside our patio.  It sounded like a winter storm, pretty cool!

Ceci was a world-class flyer!!!
