Here are my boys waiting for the water taxi. That's our hotel in the background. It's a great place for families.
Last year the captain of the water taxi was a lady named Christine. She let S drive the boat for a little bit. No such luck this year. The captain was a taciturn man who sped across the harbor like there was no tomorrow. S was disappointed, but what can you do?
That big aircraft carrier is the USS Midway. We didn't go on it this time, but J and I told the kids about it. We had the opportunity to have dinner on it last year when J brought me to Coronado on a business trip without the kids. Ahh...bliss...
But I digress. Moving on...
Here is some merchant ship. Not sure anymore details. I'll probably edit this post when J gets back in town so he can fill me in on the details of everything.
I do know that this is the Russian submarine that is the reason J made me watch "The Hunt for Red October" again once we got back from our vacation.
The monkeys were especially fascinated by this original Spanish treasure chest.
This was before lunch. Can you tell by the grumpy looks?
The Star of India, a merchant ship
This was after lunch. Much happier boys, steering the ship safely into port!
We took the ferry back to Coronado then walked to Miguel's Cocina -- a great Mexican place just across the street from the Hotel Del. Go there, if you ever go to San Diego.
After dinner we walked on the beach and then walked back to our hotel to the tune of S singing a made-up song called "The Battery Hat" and O talking to himself. About 3/4 mile away from our hotel O decided he couldn't wait to pee and so left a little wet trail down his leg and behind us for a ways. Isn't vacation fun?
