San Diego

It has been quite awhile since we have updated due to the fast pace and tight schedules we have endured. Ali has been working on completing her certification to be a personal trainer, as well as, finishing up the school year at 29 Palms High School. Scottie has been working many long hours and completing a class towards his degree. In order to decompress, we decided to take a mini vacation to San Diego.

We reserved a cottage on the beach aboard Camp Pendleton. Throughout the four day weekend, we enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather, spending time at the beach, delicious Italian cuisine, tourist attractions such as the USS Midway, a harbor cruise, and the Air and Space Museum, as well as the company of good friends.



Here we are sitting on the patio of Sonny’s Pizza and Pasta in San Clemente. The homemade gnocchi was out of this world!



Most of Saturday was spent relaxing on the beach. We also ventured out onto the sea wall which turned out to be quite a hike.



This is another view from the sea wall overlooking the Del Mar Beach. This was Ali’s first trip to the Pacific Ocean.



Saturday evening, we visited some friends of the Fenenoz family and enjoyed great company and a variety of food. This picture was taken before the barbeque on the patio behind our cottage.



Aboard the flight deck of the USS Midway. The gentleman who took our picture was a sailor on the historic aircraft carrier many years ago. We had the privilege of his conversation.
