San Diego & Denver Vacation

Greg and I had a wonderful vacation to San Diego & Denver. We stayed so busy and saw so many neat things. We arrived in San Diego on Sunday. Then on Monday (am) we really hit it. We went to the San Diego Zoo which I had heard was the best in USA. Well, I agree! You can see the zoo one of three ways. (By double decker bus, walking, or the sky lift). It was wonderful!

Then we were off to see the USS Midway! What a ship!!!! It was so wonderful seeing and being on a ship that had fought in WWII & Desert Storm. It is HUGH!
Then we were exhausted for the day!

Tuesday, we were off to President Reagan's Library. Seeing and remembering everything that he did for our country was amazing. Going into Air Force One was so awesome. Sorry no pics on the interior (not allowed).















Wednesday was our last day in San Diego so we went to Coronado Island and to the Pacific Ocean.
I've never dipped my toe in the Pacific so it was so exciting to me. Coronado Island is where Marilyn Monroe shot one of her movies.














Then it was off to Denver to surprise Brittany by coming in a day early. Grant was in on the surprise. We arrived about 9pm at the apartment. By texting Grant periodically, he helped us quietly come in the patio doors while Britt was in another room. We came in an sat on the couch. She walked in the room and gasped. It was so funny to see her face.

They took us to eat one night to a Mexican restaurant called "Casa Bonita" It was a very unique restaurant. You go through a line and order your meal. Then you are taken to your table. You will then be entertained by actors doing skits on top of a 2 story waterfall. Of course, someone would end up diving into the water. (Warm) It was something really fun for us all.


Then Greg and I went to
"Red Rocks" check them out at www.redrocksonline.com This is something that I had no idea about (I'm the only one in the world) . It is a natural made arrangements of red rocks that form a ampitheater. Of course, man came in and organized it with seating and stage area. The acoustics in it is wonderful. Apparently many artists strive to play at Red Rocks. I would love to go back and see a concert.













Then off to Golden with Brittany and Grant on Saturday. What is Golden known for? The home of Coors Beer. Yes, we went to see how the beer was made. It was very interesting!

So sorry for such a long blog but many of you had asked about our trip. So enjoy and if you get a chance go to San Diego and visit some of these sites. I'm sure Brittany and Grant would love to have you visit them as well.
