About a month ago we really splurged and decided to spend a lot more than we were planning on on a camera. It is a Nikon 1400 I think and we're still trying to figure it out..
It was has been so much fun going places with our new camera.. it gives us more of a reason to explore because we want to try and get some cool pics. I'm so glad Jered has gotten so into it, he's way better than I am and has a real eye for light. The majority of the cool pictures we have are ones he took. We want to try and find a cheap or free photography class so we can actually know what we're doing instead of just moving around a bunch of knobs and hope things turn out alright.
San Diego was the perfect place to do just that. We left early Saturday morning from Fullerton and headed straight to the Del Coronado Hotel on Coronado Island. The hotel is like 120 years old and soo beautiful. It's pretty swanky and so are the people that stay there. We tried to see as much as we could of the place and even snuck in on part of a tour which got us into their main banquet hall.. totally worth it.
We spent most of the weekend just exploring different places like the Seaport Village with the Star of India...
It was interesting to see them at night.. it's a whole different experience.
Sunday we spent a lot of the day at Old Town after finding an elusive Meeting House and listening to some pretty interesting talks. Highlights included watching a potter create some little sombreros and pots and listening to a wind pipe (i think they're called) band.
Monday was our favorite day by far. We woke up bright and early and checked out of our ghetto little Days Inn Motel on E Street and headed up to La Jolla. We walked on the beautiful shores of La Jolla and ate sandwiches in a little Cafe until it was time for our Kayak and Snorkel trip. Our guide Julie took us out on bright orange kayaks complete with wetsuit, goggles, snorkel and flippers. We kayaked out to caves on the cliffs of La Jolla right next to a huge group of sea lions and got our snorkels on, swimming right next to the sea lions. We got to swim through the caves and even snorkel through a bed of Leopard Spotted sharks. It was such a beautiful sunny day and it was so fun to be in the water and not freeze to death. We finished up the day with some hole in the wall delicious sushi and some traffic-free driving all the way home.. what a perfect Memorial weekend!
