Day 7: Our last day in California was spent in San Diego. We waited for my dad to get off work at lunch and then we headed out for San Diego. We toured the USS Midway, which is a retired Navy aircraft carrier. It was so neat to see the boat that literally has a city on it. I could not live on a boat like that but it was neat to see how others have done it. We ate at a delicious seafood restaurant right there on the pier but I cannot remember the name of it. I don’t care for seafood, but I ate it there and it was delicious.
After eating, we drove around San Diego and then headed for the airport. I remember when I was a kid, seeing my parents get teary eyed when we would leave my grandparents, but I don’t think I really understood how they felt until my parents dropped us off at the airport. I really didn’t want them to leave and I can’t wait to see them again.
We got to the gate and found out our plane was delayed, and that they would have about a 30 minutes window to get the plane unloaded, reloaded, and in the air before the “noise restrictions” began. If we didn’t get out of there by 11:30 p.m., we would be sleeping on the floor in the airport. Oh joy. They did manage to get us airborne with 2 minutes to spare. By that time, my hubby and I were so keyed up that we could not sleep. I was so afraid that I would fall asleep and end up leaning on the guy beside me that I stayed awake the entire time. We got home around 7:30 in the morning and everyone took a 2 hour nap. I spent the rest of the day in a fog and could not wait for bedtime to come.
All in all, it was a great trip and I am so thankful that we got to go. Thanks Mom and Dad for making our vacation so wonderful. It would not have been half as much fun without you both there.
