DAY 8: GET-AIR, CABRILLO, and a HARBOR TOUR

This was our Missouri family's last full day with us, so they planned the day with their 2nd choices. Unfortunately, the first choices were rather difficult to fulfill because ComicCon San Diego was in full swing and getting parking at one of the shopping places was going to be next to impossible. Instead, we took the teenagers up to Get Air, a trampoline place, for an hour of jumping and playing. They had a ball.

After a quick lunch at home, we set out for Cabrillo National Monument, out at the end of Point Loma. Though my niece's friend would have liked to have gone on the submarine base, we had no "need to" reason, so that had to be passed. Instead, we all took a good look at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery before getting to the CNM gate. That pass has gone up to $10.

Our first stop was at the Tidepools. It wasn't exactly the lowest tide -- that's at 2 in the morning -- but a little lower than it has been in our past visits. The teens had a great time!

Then it was up to the main area of CNM. Hubby, BIL and I all walked to the Military History House, which is a relatively new exhibit, and then we all walked up to the Lighthouse. I've been inside many times before, so sat out and enjoyed the view of San Diego.

I had to laugh a little at the sign inside this planter. Our drought, you know...

We ended the day with a dinner out at Tom Ham's Lighthouse. The updates have been done. The food was delicious, but others should be told that there are only 4 entrees that are fine for someone allergic to fish or shellfish, and that it's a bit pricey. The 4 entrees are two steak dinners, one duck dinner, and one chicken dinner.
