San Diego is a friendly town!

I have pictures but Nick is at work and I haven't learned how to do it so the easiest way is to just have Nick help me. He makes it seem easy. Hopefully he'll help me tomorrow.

Friday was fun after the long 5 hr. trip down. We tried to go to Spaghetti Factory on the way down but they were closed for the holiday. We were very disappointed. After we checked into the motel, we went to Hometown buffet. It was a good meal but no S. F. After that we thought we better get to where the fireworks were going to be so we could find a place to park. We were on Coronado Island by the bay on a pier. We carried our chairs and sat and watched people. People are friendly in San Diego. We notice friendly people since we have lived in Las Vegas. Las vegans are not, as a rule, friendly. Nick and I miss that, so we enjoyed people watching and smiling at people. At 9:00 pm, on time, they started the fireworks and they were wonderful! for at least 20 mins.

On Sat. morn. we headed to SeaWorld. The first thing we did was go to the Shamu show. It was great. Then we went to the new show, cirque de le mere. It was an acrobatic show on the water. Interesting, OK. I liked Shamu better. We then tried to go on the Raft ride but it was an hour wait so we decided we didn't want to go . Nick was fighting a bug all last week and wasn't feeling real good so we decided we'd come back to Seaworld when there weren't so many people. We all have annual passes so we are going to be going back to S.D. a few more times. It was so nice to enjoy the cool air. I actually got cold in the evening. Nice. We drove back up about 40 miles to Spaghetti Factory and got out mizithra fix. Then we went to the beach on Coronado Island. We played in the waves for a while. Fun!. then we played in the sand. I will post pictures later. We stayed until the tide came and ruined our sandcastles.

Sunday we had planned to go to seaworld early so we could ride the rides without waiting in line so long, but when Nick woke up he said he had a sore throat and didn't want to so we slept a little more and got up , got ready and headed back.

It is much more fun to spend holidays with a bunch of family but we managed to have fun anyway. I will try to get pictures tomorrow. We are now back in the heat, 105* and we went swimming and sunbathing. Bye for now.
