Navy Pier
Navy pier in downtown San Diego. A great place for watching boats and for lunch (even if mum did give away our dinner).
See the sea world
Welcome to Sea World San Diego with lots to see
Small fish…
…and bigger ones
Happy performing dolphins…
…happy fish-eating sea lions…
…and happy admiring people
With the odd and peculiar.
Home for 5 days
View from the pad at Solana Beach right on the Pacific.
Fay even managed did a bit of boarding. In Feb. Suits all round.
Seaworld: Journey to Atlantis
Journey to Atlantis at Sea World San Diego. I don’t like heights & aren’t too keen on rides. Good job I’m blessed with two adrenaline junkies…
…F gave it good marks.
Winter break: Legoland
A short break down in San Diego for warmth, sunshine, and crowd free adventures.
Second stop was Legoland.

No pictures of water fun
Unlike the rest of the guests at Great Wolf Lodge, I didn’t think it was the “done thing” to wonder around a waterpark with a point-and-shoot in one had and a video camera in the other. So instead of amazing pictures of us in the wave pool, water castle, tub, slides, tubes and Howlin’ Tornado, here’s a pic of a couple of wacked guys the next morning.
Plus I’ve realized you can always rely on
others
to
record
similar memories for you…

Profound Fort Nisqually
At the other end of the Nisqually river from the glacier is a delta where the river drains into the southern end of Puget Sound. In 1833 the Hudson’s Bay Company established Fort Nisqually, which wikipedia currently states is the first European trading post on Puget Sound.
The fact that it was named Fort Nisqually rather than something like Nisqually-mart is probably something that should give some pause for thought about the past.
The fact that the restored Fort Nisqually that we visited was moved to its current location in the 1930’s as “part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal program to provide jobs to the Depression stricken nation” is probably something that should give some pause for thought for the future.
