Some Favorite Things

We came down to San DIego Thursday night for a long weekend (ok - we really came down to go to the Cardinals v. Padres games!). We stay at our favorite hotel - Humphrey's Half Moon Inn & Suites. Friday morning, we tool a walk on Shelter Island after breakfast and we lucky enough to see one of the aircraft carriers coming in from an exercise. It is an amazing site to see - and you can't help but feel a sense of pride in being an American when you see these majestic ships and their crews whose purpose is to protect our freedoms.

Becky was a little over whelmed with it - she wasn't really sure what to make of it

The hotel has an assortment of "pets" a family of ducks - this is "daddy duck" (according to Becky) who let her get close enough to reach out & touch if mommy would have let her!

There is also a really nice fish pond and some tropical parrots - very cool; the mommy duck and her four babies also live here

General cuteness....

Then some swimming in the pool with daddy

After all the day's activities (and a great two hour nap!!), it was off to Petco Park for the baseball game - Becky was all decked out in her Cardinals gear!

We met our good friends David & Susan at the game

Albert's at the plate.....

While the outcome of the game was less than desirable, we did have a great night and Becky made it through the whole game in good spirits...oh well - there's always Saturday night's game!
