Day 19 - San Diego, CA

Today was a great day. We left the motel at 8:05 and headed over the bridge to Coronado. Coronado is special for me. My family lived there three different times when my dad was stationed in San Diego and I have to tell you going to high school and living two blocks from the beach is pretty darn nice. After finding the last home I lived in we happened upon a Starbucks for a drink and breakfast sandwich. Took a drive by the Hotel Del Coronado and then headed down the Strand to Imperial Beach and back to San Diego.

Then we took a short drive out Point Loma for a visit to the Cabrillo National Monument, which because of haze did not offer great views. However, the Golden Age card got us in for free. Next up was a drive around Balboa Park and finally back to the motel. Not needing a rest, we walked around Old Town San Diego for a couple of hours. Ok we did need a rest, which was a pair of Dos Equis Amber, chips and salsa.

Back at the motel, which by the way is a Marriott Courtyard and free for the two nights, we took a little rest and then headed out for dinner. Chicken Fajitas and the required Dos Equis filled the bill.

Gas in Coronado was $4.89 for regular.
