Sunny Beach Day
This was taken on Day 3 of my stay, when Steffie took the train down from Hollywood to keep me company since I am a right old scaredy-cat about staying in new places by my lonesome. Dropping her bags at the door, she demanded food and beach. The sushi was great and the beach was even better. We had marvelous weather for it being February. Perks of being in Southern California!
Military Aircraft – Coronado Island
I knew that we were close to Camp Pendelton and a bunch of military based areas but wow, I had no clue just how present the military is down there. Aircrafts like the one pictured above were flying overhead when Steffie and I were enjoying a walk along the beach.
Reflection of the Hotel del Coronado
The Hotel del Coronado is its own long overdue post, but I was pleased that I was able to capture this reflection of one of the first luxury resorts ever built. The water was too chilly for my liking but my feet enjoyed the cool, slippery feeling of water and sand as Steffie and I strolled along the shore.
Seashells by the Seashore
I understand the compulsion to make gaudy seashell home furnishings out of these gems of the ocean – seashells are so much fun! Searching for that perfect shell is a childhood past time that just never gets old. Steffie and I both collected a few specimens. Also, it should be noted that the sand is amazingly soft, not unlike velvet on my feet. Coronado is an incredibly clean beach as well.
Sunset on Coronado Island
All of the sunset’s were glorious – though I unfortunately waited until the last evening to take my pictures and it was overcast. Still, the sun put on a good show by breaking through the clouds as it descended into the west.
All in all, it was a sensational trip and I’d recommend Coronado Island to just about anyone.
You should share this good stuff!
