We're Home. . .

We really wanted to stay in San Diego, but I don't think it would have gone over well with the family in Utah. Here's the last picture I took in San Diego.

We arrived back in Utah just in time to head off to the Jr High for a Parent's meeting Friday afternoon. I had to make the adult decision and skip the quilt show because of family/home stuff to take care of. I picked up the quilts that were entered into the show, and I was disappointed that none of them got ribbons. But I guess that's life. I was a bit apprehensive about seeing what the judges had to say, but they were all positive comments and just one negative. I'm sad I didn't get to see the show and all the quilts that were in the show because they must have been fantastic.
Here's a pic of the quilt as I was trimming it for binding. I'm sad the quilt didn't win a ribbon, but now that I have it back I realize how much I love this quilt and it doesn't matter. I'll take a picture of the quilt all bound and finished for an upcoming blog.

Day 4 . . .

We started off the day with a session at the LDS San Diego Temple. It was a great way to spend the day.

Then we headed over and visited La Jolla Cove. It was beautiful.

Walking back to the car I passed this tree. It's amazing what you see when you look up.

Then we had a fabulous dinner cruise on the Bay. It was a great day!

Day 3 in San Diego

We are enjoying taking it easy and having slow get up and go days. We headed out to see the USS Midway and spent nearly 4 hours on the ship taking the self-guided headset tour. It was really amazing to see what the crew lived like the tiny quarters/bunk they have and the work they do on such ships. This ship was in service for approx. 50 years. It had several renovations and upgrades during it's service.

That's the USS Ronald Reagan over Bob's shoulder. It's a working Nuclear Aircraft Carrier. After the tour of this retired vessel we wanted a tour of the real thing. But it's not open to tours. Bummer!

Then we headed over to Coronado. We mainly walked the beach and ate. We were too tired to do anything else!

Our Plan Today

Today, we're off to visit the USS Midway. We tried yesterday, but it was about to close. After the Midway we're driving over to Coronado. Should be fun.

Sleeping in. . .

Tuesday was the day Bob actually had to work. . . Well, from 8 - 2. Hard work day. I had a yummy sleep in day. Woot for black out curtains! I think I need some for home. I might not ever get out of bed though. Our hotel is on Harbor Island, which is a long skinny island that has 3 hotels on and about 5 Marinas on. I took a walk along the bike/walking path and took lots of pics. I'm in love with these trees and their red flowers. . . I won't bug you with all my pics of them.

San Diego

Did I mention. . . Several weeks ago my hubby said he had a one day business trip to San Diego and asked me if I wanted to go. It was snowing outside and the answer was. . . "Duh? YES!" Yes, I would be missing the HMQS quilt show in the SLC area, but SAN DIEGO and warm weather!!! I'll be back on Friday and am planning on checking out the show and vendors on Saturday...

So Yesterday, we visited the Gaslamp District and I've been playing with my new camera! Woot!
