Update from SoCal

It's been a while kids, but we're back. Katie and I will catch you up with what's been going on. We begin our update from this past spring.

 
We begin with cocktails on board Jungle - of course we do.

 

We go to one of our favorite spots on Coronado - The Del Coronado Hotel where Jenée starts her day with yoga on the beach.


... While I mind the bikes, including our brand new folding bike. Sweet.

After yoga, or what we Bostonians call yog-er, we pedal to the north side of Coronado and a view across the bay to downtown San Diego.


A better view.


We rest at a little park along the way.


The US Navy is always in sight.


As is the USS Midway from WWII.


We love this gourmet Mexican restaurant and the view downtown. That's right, I said gourmet.


A quick selfie


Now, a commercial break. That's my fused right ankle with those 3" dry wall screws in place. End result is I fell great and walk without pain for the first time in 10 years. Hurray for me!


And we check in on Frank and Lorraine Fraine. My parents are on their 67 year of marriage. I visited just before my Dad's passing. He is the best man I'll ever know - love you Dad.

Back at our marina, Garrett joins us on board for dinner. Always great to see our man.

We're heading back down for a weekend in Coronado.


Turns out, it's "cool old car" week on Coronado. Jenée is off to yog-er, so I'm going stag baby!

Lots of sweet rides


Like yellow.


This is the after photo.


This is the before photo


Dig them colors.


You gotta have a red Vette in there

And a Woody


All these cars a beautifully restored.


Turquoise was a big color in the 50's.


Now we're talking - a station wagon. This is the way I rolled as a kid.


Lots of cars. Time to go meet up with my darling.

And of course, have lunch.


I tour the car scene again with Jenée.


T-Bird


VW Bus. Our brother in law Brian was a big surfer dude and this was his sled of choice.

We love these colors.

Jenée's Dad had this exact model and color Corvette.

A more serious ride


Cars, cars, cars ...


I really liked this Buick. Check out the fins - aerodynamic!


They even have a band and dancing In the street!


Winners circle.


I always liked this vintage Dodge Challenger.


We are back aboard Jungle over looking Glorietta Bay.

The next morning on our way home, I run into the U.S. navy.


Just us and them on the bay.


We'll let 'em go this time - they work hard. We'll talk again soon.
