The Reagan?
Love this statue! Mike and I swear we've seen it before, maybe in Florida. 
Outlet mall/casino stop on the way home 
Space Age diner, Gila BendAnyone tired of San Diego yet? Not me! On Sunday we drove over to Coronado Island and dreamed about being stationed there. If we are, we are definitely living on the island because the houses are amazing and the bridge is a teeny bit scary! I have always wanted to stay at the Hotel Del Coronado but the rooms are like, $300 a night. So, we decided to go to the Sunday brunch instead and it was very yummy! Tons of food and Mike and I kept going back for more. Then we wandered around the beach for awhile. The sand sparkles! There are millions of mica flakes in the sand and it is like glitter. The mica separates from the sand in the tide pools and swirls around like a snow globe. It was the collest thing! And we drove around the North Island Naval Base. Aaron got off the boat there and Rebekah and his parents were there to meet him last summer! We're pretty sure that the Reagan was there too, but we couldn't see the name on it.
We drove back across the bridge and went to the San Diego seaport to tour the aircraft carrier, the Midway. Amazing! And we got to see (basically) where Aaron lived for six months. Those ships are incredible!! The tour is great and everyone needs to do it!
Then (can you guess?) back to Old Town for dinner! Sleeping late on Monday and a long drive home ended the trip. Oh, and we ate at the Space Age diner in Gila Bend. The food wasn't great, but the place is pretty cool.
we walked around and through the Del when we were in San Diego back in January - it's an amazing place, I still can't get over that they call it "the Del" - isn't that like saying "the The" or something? We also ate at Old Town and loved it!!! Did you go to Little Italy while you were there - I haven't scrolled through all of your pictures yet....
