Saturday, July 5th
It's like being a part of the best Easter Egg hunt ever!
Our new tradition is to go to down to the beach at sunrise on our first morning at Coronado. And why not? With the time zones, the kids are already up by 5:30 a.m. local time.
The hunt is for sand dollars. At low tide, they are everywhere. You just run from one to another stashing into your bag. And you have the whole beach to yourself. This morning, it was a really brilliant sunrise in terms of the lighting.
We also headed to the rocks to see sand crabs and other little critters and birds.
Then it's off to the fancy diner for breakfast, another first morning tradition. As a bleu cheese lover, I was a major sucker for the bleu cheese omelet...can't believe I've never seen that on a menu before!
The beach waves are AWESOME, AWESOME! Best in years for boogie boarding....big enough to scare you, but not so big as to wipe you out (too much).
With no other grandkids around yet (they arrive on Sunday), it's easy to monopolize the grandparents for free babysitting. Kathryn and I get to have a great dinner at the Hotel Del Coronado across the street. Great food, and even greater view! Some gourmet hot chocolate from the coffee bar serves as the perfect ending to a perfect start to the vacation.
