I was able to go with Jeff on a trip to San Diego last week. It was absolutely fabulous. Our friends on base kept Taylor since he goes to school on base, and Marshall slept over at a friends in town. He would come home from school, take care of the kitty, eat dinner, do his homework and then head to the Hollingworths.
When Jeff went to his meetings in the morning I would go on a walk along Mission Bay. It was beautiful. I love palm trees and I took a lot of pictures of them. One day on my walk I came up behind a guy who had a bright green parrot on his shoulder. Another day I walked almost to Sea World (probably about 2 miles down the bay). One day I saw a surf fisherman catch a big fish.
We ate at the In N Out one night. We love that place, and one day ate world famous fish tacos at Rubios.
We were able to go to the San Diego Temple which just happened to be about 5 minutes up the road from where we were staying. It was breath taking in and out. What a treat. One day we went down by the ocean to see an aircraft carrier. The USS Midway. We got to the ticket booth 10 minutes after it had closed for the day so we didn't get to take a tour. We took a lot of pictures though.
We ate dinner on the pier at a fish market. It was so yummy.
Well, I could go on and on about all the fun things we were able to do. It was such a fun time. The last time we went away alone was ten years ago. Jeff took me to Hawaii when he had a conference for the AF. I think I need to go on all of his business trips now :)
The last morning before we left we went back to the dock and walked along the pier. It was so beautiful that I wanted to have someone take a picture of the two of us, so we asked a gentlemen sitting on a bench if he would be willing to take one. He took the camera and since it doesn't have an optical view finder he was having a hard time. I told him to just make sure that we were on the screen. This is our picture :)
