SD



Here are just a few snapshots of San Diego.
It was windy, overcast and 65 degrees most of the time we were there.

The above dolphins are at Sea World


Fishing Boats at Fisherman's Landing (note downtown San Diego in the background.)


A lovely Monarch on Coronado Island.


A lovely sand dollar on Coronado Beach.


Jets flying overhead at Coronado Beach.


An unidentified jelly object at Coronado Beach. Does anyone know what this is?


The folks under an awesome tree on Coronado Island.
Fishing boats and the city.



This is the really weaird DJ they had at my cousin's wedding reception. He played several soothing tunes along the lines of "Baby Got Back," "Hump De Hump" and "Ice Ice Baby."


I loved this gaggle of young men waiting to catch the garter. The one on the left asked me to dance for the last slow song of the night. I felt like I was in high school again, and I might as well have been, as I think he was 18 or 19. I think he had no idea how old I am. The one on the right should be nominated human of the year. Look at that kid. Awesome.

This is my cousin Kristy and her parents and siblings. Beautiful location.

This is my sister Claudia and myself at the wedding.


This is mutant Claudia. Tide pools at Point Loma.


The small version of my family, Point Loma.


Ma and I at "Rockies Yogurt," a frozen yogurt shop my uncle has been going to for six years. Lots of flavors and huge portions for really cheap. My cousin and uncle are in the background.

That jelly thing is probably someone's old pool floaty, melted and mangled.

and here you thought it was actually some sort of sea creature! HA! I laugh at your sad, sad knowledge of all things Sea.

FUN! I've never been to Coronado, but I want to. I'm jealous of your summer adventure. And glad that you got to take work off for a few days.

I'm glad you guys had fun. Wish we could have gone. Your dad looks so alone in that "small version of the fam" picture.

I love San Diego. And I am so glad you got a break from all your business (busy-ness?). And that jelly thing could be a flamenco slug thingy. I saw one in the movie OCEANS and Pierce Brosnan spoke about them dancing about in the sea. But it could also just be red algae? I should have fulfilled my dream of Marine Biologist so I could answer that question for you.
