Home Again, Home Again.....Jig-a-dee-dee

Tuesday.....We started our day a little on the slow side. John installed the last dimmer switch while Jana & I visited and drank our Starbucks coffee (John went to get our coffee.....wasn't he sweet!) We packed our bags and then went to the mall......(Jana, next time we'll have to go mall shopping first and for a much longer period of time). So many shops and so little time, but we did make time for lunch.....one has to eat you know......oh, did I mention we went to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch? It was WONDERFUL and of course, Jana & I shared a piece of cheesecake.....to be honest, Jana took like 2 bites; I was the little piggy. While Jana & I shopped, John would talk to anyone he thought would be interesting. While we did a lot of activities on our trip, it was somehow relaxing. We will go back to visit because we couldn't do everything we had hoped to do. (Jana, can you start our To-Do list for our next visit?) Thanks to everyone who kept up with us on our trip.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled busy life......Happy Holidays.....

What Happened to Tuesday?

Don't look twice.....the posting time is correct. We just got home from our wonderful trip to San Diego. We had a slight delay in Arizona, but our plane was fine. I asked John if he was glad to be home and he said "No, I like being a bum and touring around San Diego with Jana.".....truthfully, so do I; ah, but home we are. Jana, thank you for a wonderful time....you truly made Thanksgiving special. Love to all.....

Is it Monday already?

First an update from Sunday evening......Last night (after we got up from our nap) we ate at the Old Town Mexican Cafe. It was good....just different from our local Mexican food.

Now for Monday.......Jana went to work this morning while John & I stayed home. We had a quiet morning.....listened to the news (Yeah.....Gates gets to stay in charge), John fixed a dimmer switch (just one more to go) and I washed/dried a load of clothes. Our first stop today was the hardware store......we needed to get our last dimmer switch. Then we ate at a burger joint called "In-N-Out"....it was good, fast, and cheap...the cheapest meal we've eaten yet! Jana took us on a quick tour of the first fort in CA named Mission San Diego. We then drove to La Mesa where we went to a few quilt and specialty shops. Next we drove to the marina and took a South tour from the Hornblower Harbor Cruise. We saw the USS Midway, Coronado Bay Bridge, Navy Seals Training Base, as well as many ship.....it was all very interesting.



The first picture is of a Navy boat going to sea to conduct practice drills. The second picture is of a Naval Hospital Ship. Next is the Coronado Bridge and the last picture is of the Bob Hope Memorial (We saw it the day we arrived but I didn't get a picture of it until today.) For supper, we ate at Mary Helen's favorite restaurant, The Fish Market.
