San Diego - June 21-22

Before our cruise, we spent a few days in San Diego. It was the first time Sam had ever been to California! We had such a good time, we hope to go back someday and spend a week or so just seeing the sights of San Diego and the vicinity. It was great to see my uncle Jim and aunt Viv. My uncle was a commander in the Navy, so he took us onto the naval base Coronado. Afterward, we went out to dinner. Thanks so much, Jim and Viv, for showing us around San Diego!

Pete and Kris
Russ. He refused to pose, so this is what I got.
Sam and his dad attempting to surf. They couldn't get the hang of it. Not because they didn't know what they were doing...NO! It was because they rented the "wrong kind" of surf board! Uh huh. Balboa Park
