San Diego, CA - Tide Pools, Beaches and Family

I actually wrote this blog after our trip to Catalina and I’m all written out now. So, here is a short picture history of what we did last Wednesday, prior to our trip to Catalina.

We walked along Ocean Beach beachand streets with a $350,000 one bedroom, one bath home for sale 2 blocks from the beach,

and marina.

Is this an editorial comment or a boat name?

We then decided that since we were already out, and the tide was low, to check out the tide pools on Point Loma and needed something to eat before we went. We could buy some fiber or protein bars but - hey, why not a $5.00 foot long? Sounds much better, more nutritious and costs just a bit more than 3 bars. As we were walking back to our car we found Hungry Lu’s with $5.29 foot longs and chairs and a table outside to eat. Perfect.

At Point Loma, we wound down the road to the tide pools, found a parking spot and started walking along the cliffs and coastline. We discovered that we had come just a bit too late since the tide was already coming in. But we found a crab hiding in the rocks with his beady eye on me,

The National Monument was filled with people on this glorious sunny warm day.

And the views, as usual, were scrumptious.

On the way back we stopped to pay our respects to all those who have died for our freedoms at Rosecrans National Cemetery.

The view was great, the company was priceless, the meal was not. Oh, well.

Then home.

Ah, only 334 words. Probably my shortest blog. Time for bed.
