Shutdown 2006 - Day 5 to 8 - San Diego

This blog is about the San Diego Section of the trip. Below is Emerald Bay. We just randomly stopped along the highway and hiked through to the shore. I can't believe people live here. It's insane. We were driving from Newport Beach to San Diego. We stopped at Pacific Mall in Laguna Beach.We got to San Diego just before Sun Set. Our first stop is La Jolla. This is one of my most favorite places. La Jolla means The Jewel in spanish. This places is considered the Jewel of San Diego. It's like Beverly Hills but for San Diego.
You can walk over the cliffs along the side. It's really cool.

San Diego is a huge Military city. There is a huge Navy Port and a there is Miramar where they train the fighter pilots. About 1/4th of the economic structure is completely related to defense spending.
Here is Jon, Chris and Alex Noble and Myself. This was on the way to Corando Island. This is a peninsula out into the San Diego Bay. It has a beautiful beach with the warmest water I could find on the west coast. They have a famous hotel/resort on the beach. It's called "The Hotel Del Coronado" or they call it "The Del". We got some icecream there. And hands down, it's the best ice cream I have ever had! The don't sell Icecream, the sell Frozen Dreams!
Simand was driving!

I wanted to put this picture below for a reason. This was on our way out of San Diego through the Mojave Desert. This was the last time I was in California!
