Coronado

Sunday morning we packed up, checked out and headed for Coronado. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing gently and the water was gorgeous. We spent some time walking along the shoreline up to the Hotel del Coronado. The water was really cold, but there were a few guys surfing and they were fun to watch. Mike and William enjoyed playing around in the sand and getting wet. We walked around inside the Hotel and it is an amazing place, everything is wood and the lobby is spectacular from the beams on the ceiling to the old-fashioned lift with an elevator operator. There are a ton of shops on one level of the hotel and they have a great sweet shop. We spent some time in there getting goodies for the trip home. I found some white chocolate with lime and it was so good it didn't make it to the trip home.

After wandering around the hotel, we went into the town area. There are some very quaint hotels and shops and the weather was just perfect for looking around. After lunch in a local pizzeria, which had excellent calzones, we were ready to head home again.

It was a fun but short weekend in San Diego and I think we all agree we would like to go back and spend more time exploring all that there is to do there.
