The "Wedding Guests that Never Left" are finally leaving! I am posting as we await our delayed flight at the San Diego Airport (big fog this morning!). We have really enjoyed our stay and the hospitality of Pam and Craig (who are still enjoying themselves in New Zealand). Their apartment has been an ideal and comfortable base for us this past week. We have enjoyed TiVo, high tech cooking gadgets, and a wonderful rooftop to view the bay and landing aircraft.
Wednesday, we watched a puppet show at the Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theater in Balboa Park, and did some more exploring of the park. Thursday, the sun came out again. We took advantage by traveling up the coast to Torrey Pines State Reserve, a beautiful park with great ocean views. We lunched in La Jolla, where we viewed seals basking on the beach. Natalie wants to add that there was a great mermaid statue at the restaurant Azul. From there we stopped off at Mission Bay to fly kites, get soaked, and watch the sunset.
Yesterday, we packed in seeing the Dead Sea Scrolls at the San Diego Natural History Museum, Cabrillo Monument, and Coronado Island.
We are close to boarding so I will end for now. Next stop, Seattle!
