September 8th, 2007 - Saturday
We flew back from California on the red-eye Friday night and got back early Saturday morning. While it is nice to come home, this is one vacation that could have lasted a bit longer.
Since I took over 600 pictures while I was there, I am sure to be posting more from my trip for awhile.

There is a Nval Base next door to the Hotel and early in the morning we would see bootcampers out running on the beach and practicing swimming drills in the freezing ocean...no fun.
This guy was dead last and getting an EARFUL from the guy in the truck who reminded me of Louis Gossett Jr. in An Officer and a Gentleman.
Poor guy.
Oh, and when they were done running up and down the beach they each had to run into the water and lay down, get soaking wet, then run a few more laps up and down the beach.
I knew I didn't sign up for the military for a reason.

The Hotel Del Coronado was amazing!
J's parent's surprised us with a room upgrade overlooking the Pacific Ocean :)
The weather was perfect, the room was awesome and we had nothing to do except hang out by the beach, enjoy happy hour, watch the sunset and relax.

As J and I were walking through Seaport Village in San Diego we randomly came across the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum.
Since we had no plans we decided to check it out. Now, I am not a big military/boat/plane buff, but this thing was pretty interesting.
We toured the ENTIRE boat that carried up to 4500 people. We toured where they lived, ate, showered, cooked, did laundry, played, the brig (that's slammer to you and me), where they navigated the boat, the steam and engine rooms, Captain's Quarters, even where they planned the strikes in Desert Storm. Then we went up top and toured the planes and the air traffic control area.
It was the one educational trip for the vacation. We try to put down the beer and forks of food while on vacation long enough to to learn at least ONE new thing. It's a little vacation rule we have :)

It's 113 degrees in Riverside. We picked the one place on earth HOTTER than Miami in August to go on vacation.
