We just got back from the most fantastic vacation trip to San Diego!! It was me (Ora), the kids (Abe and Rosie) and my Dad (Zeyde). I had planned this trip last year before Jim died and we decided to still go. (Dad was already included)
We were the proto-typical tourists in shorts, hats and carrying guidebooks and cameras. And we had a ball!!
We went to Seaworld (twice)
The first time, on the first day, we started in the morning and went until dinner time
And then we came back another day to see the shows in the evening
to the Wild Animal Park (morning to noon and then at dusk)
The heat was horrible!!! We were all dying- and refilling the water bottles all of the time, so we left around 1 pm and then came back at 6 pm. The animals were a lot more awake then.
to the San Diego Zoo (a little disappointing after the Wild Animal Park)- but the monkeys were Rosie's favorites
While Abe's favorites were the elephants
And everyone loves the Pandas!!!
to the Old Town- the original site of San Diego, to the aircraft carrier the USS Midway (Abe and I both could've spent a LOT more time there) and to the Marine Recruit Depot Museum
to Coronado Island (boring), and to the beach (yes, we all got sunburned there).
And best of all, there was very little sniping or grumbling. No one was yelling at anyone else (except to get Abe moving in the mornings) and we ALL had a really good time.
San Diego is a lovely place to visit and even though we were very busy seeing things, we didn't see even half of everything. I even came back relaxed and Zeyde thanked me for inviting him along. I would love to go back.
