Coronado Island....

...has to be one of the best places EVER!

Great beaches, lovely homes, perfect weather, lush plants.

Oh yes, I'm in love with that little corner of the world:

Kaelyn and Alyson clown around in the beautiful front yard of their home.

Alyson all ready for the Taylor Swift concert...she's very happy in this picture...she didn't realize she was about to get some bad news; her tickets were FAKE!  But, her mom saved the day for her.  Doesn't she look adorable?  The day after the concert, she made a lovely poster and bracelet to show her appreciation to her mother...thoughtful, yes!

Carisa on Coronado sports a new 'do.'

The succulents are succulent.  They are prolific and so unique.  I love the design and the designer.

Sayre; such an exuberant kid...I always love his enthusiasm, his quest for learning.  I hope he never loses his passion for asking questions.

Some people think trees were made to give off oxygen; that would be only partially correct....they were also made for  boys to climb...you go, Sayre.  You just enjoy childhood; it's over very soon.

The beaches in San Diego are some of the best anywhere.  The way you tell if it is a good beach is to measure the redness of the people's arms and legs the following day.  This beach is obviously a very GOOD one.  OUCH!

Such a great shoreline with the ferry in the foreground.  

These signs dot the entire island.  I love the patriotism exhibited in the small area.  There are lots of American flags displayed every day.  It's a great reminder that we owe much to so many.  I am grateful.

The homes are inviting and different.  One man told me he bought his 1400 sq ft home for $34,500 in 1967.  He could hardly afford it, but his wife thought it would be a good investment.  He recently had it appraised for $1.8 MILLION.  Incredible.  So, the homes are lovely, but they are pricey!  Oh yes.

Ah such a great place to visit.

Thanks, J & C.
