San Diego 6-27-08

Prelude to Blog: We love San Diego. What's not to like ... 70deg, clear sky, ocean ... aahhh! As you read today's blog, take this assessment into account. I'm sure you'll sense grade inflation.

We decided to take advantage of the great day. We took a 2 hr boat excursion touring San Diego Bay. I'm sure you know that San Diego is home to a large Naval base. We saw several large Navy boats in dry dock and a few small ones practicing maneuvers. There were quite a few sail boats as well as the America's Cup boat, Stars and Stripes. It was well worth the trip, especially at the senior rate (55+) of $21.50/person (http://www.sdhe.com/). We had lunch on the bay at Anthony's Fish Grotto (http://www.gofishanthonys.com/grotto.html). We also drove across the the Coronado Bay Bridge to see the Hotel Del Coronado. For those P&Gers who have been to the Boca Raton Resort, you have a mental picture of what this hotel is like ... very ornate and very expensive. This hotel is most famous for being the backdrop for the movie "Some Like It Hot" with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon (http://www.hoteldel.com/).
