City

Inspired by Frank at Dutch goes the Photo. The prompt: City

My favorite vacation destination city is San Diego, California. The place for shopping at Horton Plaza and Seaport Village. Or checking out the museums at Balboa Park – including the Hall of Fame Sports Museum (now closed). The San Diego Zoo and Spreckels Organ performances. Sightseeing and getting a family photo taken dressed up in “old time” outfits in Old Town.

And of course theater! And delicious food and drink (one memorable dinner at China Camp is part of family lore).

Coronado is just over the bridge from San Diego …

It’s where I took this photo of the San Diego skyline…one sunny day in 2006.

Fun Fact: Traveling across the Coronado Bay Bridge is a unique experience. When we visited with our 2 kids, we rented a minivan. While driving from Coronado to San Diego and back again, I knick named it the “scary bridge.” I insisted we stay in the middle lane and avoided looking out the side window. Sitting up higher in a minivan means you don’t see the bridge side barriers.

As I recall, the kids thought it was quite exciting.

This is a video someone else posted of this scary drive.
