A DAY WITH THE ANIMALS

Last week my son took my granddaughter and I to the Wild Animal Park but I didn't get to stay as long as I wanted so, I promised myself a walk up the hill to Balboa Park to visit(all by myself)the San Diego Zoo. I spent most of the day there just admiring all of those amazing creatures. Below are some photos I took.

DOWN BY THE WATER

Yesterday I walked down by the water and spent the day browsing Seaport Village.
Below are pictures of the area. My favorite attraction was "Unconditional Surrender," a 25-foot, 6,000 pound statue by world-renowned artist J. Seward Johnson commemorating a famous World War II photo of a sailor kissing a nurse.

Shop till you drop!

Here are pictures of the Horton Plaza Shopping Mall downtown San Diego, where I successfully found a pair of earrings to wear to the wedding.

A NIGHT AT THE BALLPARK

When ever I exit my son's building and look down the street to the left I can see what appears to be staduium seats. This is the direction I am walking in today to see just what that is at the end of the block.
Well what do you know it's the San Diego Padres Ballpark!





When my son got home from work he'd purchased tickets to see the Padres and the Braves. So it was a mother/son outing last night. It had been a long time since I was at a game and I loved the roar of the crowd!

A GRAND TIME IS BEING HAD!

I have been having too much fun here in San Diego!
Spending time with family is a JOY!

I've been wined and dined at some very nice places. Two of my favorites so far Is "Mr. A's" restaurant and a dessert bar called "Extraordinary Desserts".

I've spent the day at the children's museum with my middle granddaughter, shopped at Horton Plaza, walked and explored the downtown area, lunch at a sushi restaurant and the hustle and bustle of people to and fro is quite exciting!

I even had time to stop in the bookstore and I am happy to say I found a copy of "Prims" magazine! Yay! It's beautiful and I am so honored and pleased to say that some of my dear TDIPT Sisters are featured in Prims! Congrats Sisters, you all are awesome!

A Look At City Life

I am here in San Diego staying with my son until his wedding date.
I stepped out onto his balcony to take a few pictures of the view and although the view is amazing I am not comfortable with height so after just a couple of shots I ran back inside.
I've already been to Horton Plaza Mall and had dinner at a sushi restaurant downtown.
Below are picture of the view from his 11th floor apartment.
