Photos from another fun day in San Diego

We decided to take the Old Town Trolley Tour on Sunday.  First we had our usually Dewell Family Breakfast, which we always cook once when we get together:  Eggs Benedict.  I used to make it, and now Tom usually does.  He's good in the kitchen and I'd have to say a master bar-b-q'er too.  Then we went to church.  I really like this young congretation and pastor, and there are a variety of older people, too. His message is always really good.  I found out the church has a website, and I can log on to watch/listen to his service messages, and I plan to do that.  :)

Afterwards, Trish's parents came over and we all drove down to Old Town San Diego.  I had bought a Hometown Pass years ago, so I go free with a paid guest, and the family also had passes, so it was a great deal for us. Here are some photo highlights of the day:

Balboa Park - beautiful architecture:

Old graveyard in Old Town.  Do you know how many people are buried here?

All of them!  That's a joke the trolley driver told us.  :)

And finally - my beautiful family - Trish's parents, Richard and  Joanne, Tom, Trish, Kennedy, Graydin and Gavin.

Sorry, those aren't in any particular order - I just threw them in and labeled each one.  Can you tell I'm tired?

It was really crowded on Sunday - with Valentine's Day on Friday and President's Day on Monday, there were lots of people out and about, and lots of tourists in town.  Taking the Trolley was a great idea and with the ongoing facts about each of the areas we drove through, it was really interesting.  We pretty much saw the whole area, downtown, shipyards, bay, Old Town, Little Italy, Balboa Park, Coronado, Seaport Village, and probably more I can't think of now.  You can get out at any stop and do a little sightseeing or shopping or have a meal, then hop on the next trolley to head to the next stop. I would recommend it to visitors to San Diego, but plan on getting there early so you'll be able to make some stops and really enjoy the area.  It's an all day adventure.
