Before I forget....last time we visited San Diego I kept a written journal as we went. I didn't do that this time so I'm going to leave a basic outline here until I have time to add more detail, along with pictures, in the near future (I hope....since we are leaving in less than 2 weeks on another little jaunt to MT/ND)
Day 1: Sunday, June 8: Airline flight to San Diego, met at the airport by my brother, who had prepared a smoked turkey dinner for us
Day 2: Monday, June 9: A stroll up and down San Diego Harbor and a tour of the USS Midway, the aircraft carrier, now a museum. The arrival in town of my brother and sister-in-law from ND.
Day 3: Tuesday, June 10: Our trip to Sea World. Then we went to Ocean Beach to eat at
Hodad's, one of the places featured on Food Network's
Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. The burgers were GREAT!
Day 4: Wednesday, June 11: To Qualcomm Stadium to go through Security and board the bus for Torrey Pines for a practice round of the US Open Golf Tournament (got some pics of some big time players!!!)
Day 5: Thursday, June 12: Up early and to Qualcomm Stadium to go through A REALLY LONG security line and board the bus for Torrey Pines and the first day of the US Open....a long day capped by a
steak dinnerDay 6: Friday, June 13: Everyone slept in, my brother took the day off, and we headed out to a late breakfast, followed by a trip to wine country and some wine tasting. The day ended with a delicious
seafood dinnerDay 7: Saturday, June 14: My brother- and sister-in-law left to continue their trip by car....we headed to
Balboa Park and visited a couple museums there (the Air and Space Museum and the Automotive Museum) and strolled through the park to see the sights, including the rose and cactus gardens. We also visited the
oldest mission in California.
Day 8: Sunday, June 15: A relaxing day spent re-packing, watching the US Open, then heading to the airport to fly back home, touching down at 12:15 AM, then driving home.
