I have never been to San Diego. Now that I have, I must say……I am in love. The place was so awesome. The beaches with white sand and the clear water was so gorgeous. I grew up in Houston with the Gulf of Mexico to look at and swim in, so for me San Diego was heavenly.
A friend that lives in California recommended Coronado Island. We took a long bridge to get to the small, fun island. It was not as touristy as Hermosa beach or the beaches closer to LA. The water was a bit on the cooler side at 65 degrees, but that did not stop Savannah and Jay from being in it. It was a sight to see the Navy ships anchored way off in the waters and to watch the Navy helicopters fly overhead. After nearly 5 hours of being on the beach, we decided to drive around and find a place to eat. _______ Rd that runs beside the beach had so many cute, unique stores and resturants. There were no fast food places cluttering up the area. Most of the eating establishments were mom and pop places. We decided on a Mexican place that had some kick ass margaritas. Even though I did not care for the twist they put on their fajitas (they served them with a spicy gravy sauce instead of sizzling on a skillet), it was the best Mexican food I have had in quite a while.
