San Diego - Sightseeing

After Disneyland we woke up a little late on Wednesday and set out on a 3 hour pilgrimage to Victorville, CA; home to Sophie's Grandma Penny. She hasn't been well (long story) so she was unable to travel down to San Diego or Anaheim to go with us to SeaWorld or Disneyland. So, we took our pictures out to her and Sophie regaled Grandma with stories about her adventures. We all went out to dinner and then headed back to finish our vacation by the pool.

Auntie Marylouise came down to visit with us on Thursday. Like the rest of Tammy's family she's originally from Hawaii and she had mentioned that Tammy's cousin Stuart lived nearby. He's deployed in the Navy but his wonderful wife Robin and daughter Zoe met up with us in Old Town San Diego for dinner. The hotel recommended Cafe Cayote and we sure were glad they did. It was a fantastic restaurant, great service, excellent food, and potent margueritas.

Sophie and Zoe took to each other like long lost friends and they soon were giggling and playing happily. After dinner we walked up and down the street and the girls kept up their chatter and tried to outdo each other with funny faces. The time to say goodnight came far too soon for everyone but Robin had to work Friday and Zoe had to get up for school. We walked them to their car and saw that they have excellent taste in vehicles -- Robin drives a Land Rover Discovery just like the one we used to have!

Friday morning I wanted to relax and read by the pool but Tammy and Sophie decided to check out Coronado Island. They lunched with Auntie at the Hotel Del Coronado, walked the beach, and checked out the statue garden built as a salute to Bob Hope by the Navy.
