Steve and I went to San Diego this past week to watch the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) tournament at Torrey Pines. It was totally awesome and man can those girls play golf. We went to the tournament both Saturday and Sunday and walked the entire golf course both days and we were exhausted after. We enjoy just sitting on the balcony of our hotel on the 9th floor which overlooked the bay over to the naval base and Coronada Island and enjoying the sites. Saw a naval ship headed out to sea which was exactly like the one Steve was on when he was stationed in San Diego in the Navy. We enjoyed two yummy Mexican dinners at Old Town San Diego. We stayed three nights, and we were so NOT ready to come home. Was such a great mini-vacation. I think we are kinda semi-retired. Here are a few pictures:

Torrey Pines Golf Course - beautiful ocean course - oh, how we wanted to play it!

Steve standing on our hotel room balcony - nice hat, huh!

Naval Ship - brought back Navy memories in St. Diego for Steve.

Resting after the Golf Tourney.

Yummy Dinner at San Diego Old Town. Brought back fun memories of when we vacationed there with the kids about 20 years or so ago.

Calvin and Tommy came down to stay with us for the weekend. As usual, we had a blast. They wanted to go to the Dinasour Park again and we loved it last time so went again. It was just as great the 2nd time. They brought their Halloween costumes to show us. Tommy's 4th birthday is Tuesday, September 8th, so we had a little party for him. They also wanted to roast marshmellows again, I really think they just like playing in the fire, but who didn't when you were a kid. Here are a few pictures in no particular order, I'm doing good just to get them on here. We love all of our grandsons so much and wish they were closer -- they are all so special!
