Paradise Point
Filling in some of the blank months, Jackie has all the legal holidays off so we broke away to San Diego on the Presidents' Day weekend in February, it was also Chinese New Year. Conner and Janna invited us to join them in San Diego and met us at the airport in a huge SUV, it helps to pull up to the resort lobby looking like a Presidential candidate, especially when you arrive late, and your savvy son has already convinced the Desk to comp you a breakfast at the bayside Barefoot Bar&Grill that we missed but applied to lunch anyway based on said savvy son's rico suave, and comping the parking fee too.
We stayed at Paradise Point, a tropical themed island resort in Mission Bay that has individual bungalows, rambles around five pools, lagoons and the bay, and includes that breakfast I mentioned and Sea World tickets, of which we really made use. I liked the idea of individual bungalows rather than a high rise room. I made like Burt Lancaster in the movie 'The Swimmer' and swam my way through the pools around the resort. Conner and Janna wanted to go to Sea world and see Shamu and the Killer Whale Show before they retired that magnificent beast.
So, we went to Sea World, Belmont Park, Old Town, the Gaslight District, we ate street food and at The Fish Market Restaurant, just like there is in San Mateo, we really liked the city. Their Embarcadero is very wide and clean, has generous sidewalks and walking spaces, features free parking and a fantastic Maritime Museum, including the USS Midway.
We drove out Point Loma to the Cabrillo National Monument, you can see all the way to the border and beyond. I must have enjoyed myself on this trip, there's 54 pics on FB in this Paradise Point album. Point Loma - Cabrillo There may be included there fotos of aquatic mammals and other creatures enjoying the company of terrestrial beings. If this offends you then take off your underwear, turn it around and pull it over your head, breathe deeply 3-4-15-20 times, om-om-om, you'll feel much better. No military hardware was harmed during the taking of these pictures.
