Our trip started early Thursday morning. After waking up Michael and telling all of the children and Aunt Paige (MiMi) good-bye, our sweet friend, Dave took us to the airport where we at breakfast before boarding our plane.
John at breakfast ... opening a note from me!
On our FULL southwest flight we had a good time ... John shared our itinerary with me and some fun borrowed items to use on our trip ... an iPod Nano with accessories (I am hooked). I will be saving my money for a gadget! :)
When we landed we got to the car rental place that was PACKED! We waited for 30 to 40 minutes, but by that point the people getting there would be in line for at least an hour. The line was out the door. They didn't have John's reserved car, so we got something else.
Waiting for the car I was able to see this cool place ... the planes land right through the middle of the city! It looks like they are going to land on top of you and it is so loud, but really cool!
This is next to the rental car place - the planes come to the right of this building - so close that all of the building have lights on them for the planes to see at night.
A cruise ship at the port down from the rental car place.
We went on a drive across the major bridge to Coronado.
We drove to our condo and dropped our stuff off to go to the museum for 4PM.
We were waiting for the Tram to take us to the museum to see the Dead Sea Scrolls on exhibit.
Fun on Day One!
A dinosaur on exhibit in the Natural History Museum in San Diego.
A shark in the museum - hanging from the ceiling.
A HUGE tree outside the museum.
The Balboa Park area around the museums.
A ballet on the open air stage in the park. Hard to focus as the planes fly over.
In another area they were having a movie night in the park! Families out with nice picnic dinners waiting for their movie to start.
Cool buildings everywhere.
From here we headed to the store and back to the condo!
What a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
