San Diego day 2

It was another beautiful day in San Diego.  We got up early again and Ed retrieved coffee for us. Then we met Jim and Val and bought our tickets for the hop on hop off and after waitin for over an hour for a  trolley we hopped on. Seems the trains were blocking the tracks, and that's what made them late. Our driver was named BOX CAR, and he was a kick, he turned a bad situation into a very fun morning. We road almost the full journey and debarked in old town, for lunch. As we hadn't even had breakfast. 

We walked down the hill to the Guadalajara restaurant and had a yummy lunch, bean and beef tostada, with a big Margareta!  

Walked around old town a bit and then re-boarded our trolley and arrived back at the US Grant in time to get ready to go to dinner at the top of the Fish Market. What a place. And what a view!  We had a wonderful dinner and great conversation.  

Day 1 in SanDiego

We had a great first day in San Diego, it was bright and sunny, but cool. Pet picked us up about 2 pm to take us on a bit of a tour of the New Point Light and Cabrillo National Monument.  

Cabrilloset out on his epic voyage 50 years after Columbus landed in America. It was very interesting to know about this history we knew nothing about

Looking across the bay

A navy ship arrives, we saw her on the other side, out doing maneuvers. 

San Diego

We awoke at 5: am daughter Peggy had coffee on, bless her and at 6:00 we piled out to the car, and Peggy drove us to Dulles. Got a sky hop and he took all our bags (4) and we checked in. We went through the Global Entry  line and it was fast, and no issues. Went to the United lounge, for another cup of coffee, to wait for our flight. Flight was called right on time, and we were off.

A Bloody Mary,  and huge breakfast and the next 5 hours "flew" by about an hour and a half away from landing we flew over the Grand Canyon and I got this shot.

 

We landed 30 minutes early, and our bags came out the very first, that was nice. Got a taxi to our hotel the US Grant, and our room was ready. That was wonderful!  We freshened up and went downstairs for a late lunch that turned out to be dinner too. The time change was affecting us. Went back to the room for a nap. 

When we woke we decided to go across the street to the mall area, to CVS, and buy a couple bottles of water, for the room and some snacks. But both of us were dragging so walked back to the hotel. Ed took the stuf upstairs, and I drank a refresher drink they had at the desk, and it helped! It was pair and rosemary, very interesting.  We then went to the bar for happy hour, and had an order of pamasan cheese frys to shear, that was dinner, LOL 

On our way

We will leave home in a bit, the bags are packed, now to get them, and Ginger in the car. She is ready to go home I think. 

So now on to the kids house and fly out to San Diego tomorrow.
