Today was supposed to be in the high 70's so we decided to spend the day on Coronado Island, visiting the shops, having lunch in town and visiting the beach.
Turned out to be an excellent choice. We made the drive around South Bay through Imperial Beach and up the peninsula (Coronado really isn't an island) to the city of Coronado. We parked on a little side street and walked over to the beach down by the lifeguard station just north of the old Coronado Hotel.
We spent a couple of hours walking the beach looking for shells, walking in the gentle surf, people watching and generally enjoying the day. With Emma starting to show signs of sunburn on her cheeks we returned to the car and drove into town for lunch at a nice restaurant, La Terraza Ristorante on Orange Avenue. We all had a very nice lunch then drove over to the Old Ferry Landing Shopping Center to do a little shopping. After wandering in and out of a dozen shops we stopped for an ice cream, yumm!!By 4:00 PM the girls decided they'd had enough retail therapy so we headed for home making the loop across the CA-75 bridge to I-5 and south to Chula Vista. After taking the dogs for a long walk we called it a day and spent the evening watching movies.
