We had a lovely vacation in beautiful San Diego where we visited our friends Holly and Paul. They are in the middle of a renovation that has gone over-time and has caused some stress...needless to say, we stayed off premises for this visit.
Holly booked us a room at the Navy Lodge in Coronado. RIGHT ON THE BEACH!! Yes please!! It was wonderful! Both the room and the trip! We relaxed, ate a lot and went to the San Diego Zoo! It was excellent! I really do love the zoo. So many animals and so much to see. A couple of days later we went to the Safari Park which, if you have never had the great fortune to go there, is a HUGE property where, like the zoo, you see the animals in their habitats...many of these animals are in large areas, unlike the zoo, and seeing them from one of the tram tours is best.
AND...Holly took me to what seemed like every consignment store in Southern California! Beautiful things there. A lot of wealthy people buying things they didn't need so never used or wore all on sale for a song. I got a $400.00 Coach purse for $50.00...it still has the care card inside and there was not a mark on it or in it! YAY!
Coming home is both sad and wonderful. Seeing my pets and sleeping in my own bed has great comfort but staying on the beautiful Coronado beach was pretty great, too.
One more day of work this week! Whew! It's hardest to come back to work after a vacation, I think. Even worse than the pile of laundry brought home from the trip.
Tomorrow is my second grandson's 6th birthday. I almost can't believe it! How did he get so much older and so cute while I have not aged a day, I wonder? Hmmm...a great question for another day.
Later...
