We are thankful for the opportunity to travel to a warmer place, we are enjoying the different scenery and experiencing new things.
I hope you get to do some exciting travel too!
More to come, check in a few days!
Update Number 1
We had a Valentines Dinner at the hotel, it was a prix fix menu and I had a wine pairing with a wine for each of the four courses. It was a very nice time.
We both had filet mignon for the main course. The first course was an assortment of four different dishes, the desert was a combination of vanilla, raspberry and passion fruit mousse. It was very nice and we both enjoyed it.
Update Number 2 – 2/15/2022
Today we went to Seaport Village and the Maritime Museum

Update Number 3 – February 16, 2022
Today we spent most of the day in Old Town San Diego then later in the day we went to Oceanside to have dinner with Kelly and Harper at the Lighthouse Oyster Bar and Grill
We are having a great time here in San Diego we have found a fun and exciting thing to do each day!
Update Number 4 – February 17, 2022
Today we went to the Safari Park which is part of the San Diego Zoo and is about 35 miles north of the Zoo. It is a wonderful place, we took the free tram around the Africa Safari then we signed up for an afternoon trip into the safari up close to the animals, which was spectacular.
We had a quick lunch and then we were off to the up close ride into the safari.
The Zoo and Safari are excellent world class conservation programs, they breed endangered species which have been very successful.
A very worthwhile experience and a fun time was had by both of us.
Update 5 – February 18, 2022
Today is our last full day in San Diego – we went to the Cabrillo Monument, a national park on the tip of Port Loma, it overlooks a naval air station and a beautiful view of the sea and land around it.
We then went to the town of Coronado which is an upscale area of shops, we had lunch and did a little shopping.

So glad you are having a great trip. I love the San Diego Zoo – it’s probably the best in the US. I love the elephants and gorillas most of all. The walking is good but it can be tough in the heat. Enjoy the rest of the trip and be sure to post pics of the family.

I’m so happy you got to spend a little time with Kelly and Harper. Is Sean living in San Diego now? That’s too bad that you didn’t get to see him or Tim. It looks like a fun time is being had by the two of you and I’m happy you were able to get out of the cold weather in NJ. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
I was never there. Didn’t even know about it. It sounds wonderful and to get up close and personal sound very exciting. Hope it was all of that for you.
What a great way to wind up a wonderful week in the beautiful sunshine of California. Love the pictures it looks gorgeous there.
Looks like a lot of fun! Great pictures! I’m not even a zoo person and that zoo looks incredible! Miss you both! Xo
