Final day in San Diego

The entire zoo was amazing! We went to the beach beforehand, so there was little time for dallying. Everyone saw their favorite plus a whole lot more. Shhhh, I even snuck some Ingress and received my fourth badge.

Sea World

After visiting UCSD, we jumped over to Sea World. Even though Mark was born in Florida, he grew up in Albuquerque and was "deprived" of the tourist traps, I mean fun. He got green chili stew instead... Fair trade! It was fun, though, and the shows were awe inspiring to campy.

College visit to UCSD

Scheduled by our son, Mark, in hopes of combining computers and surfing. Any university with Geisel's library (aka Dr. Seuss) has my vote.

Ooops, no more splurging! This one is more our typical style. Costs the same for 3 nights that Pismo Beach cost for one.. Still clean, a bed to sleep in, but it includes breakfast. It will take a while to recover, but well worth the trip.

My picture. Had some required pastries to celebrate our drive through. The place reminded me of Tarpon Springs in Florida. The buildings reminiscent of a different country at one point in time, a time capsule.... Sort of. Quite commercialized and touristy now.

Not used to having myself in pictures. I think my dorm room decades ago was slightly bigger.

San Francisco marathon - and public transportation
Priority: Really want it
Added: 2015-07-25 by another contributor
Heck no! Not for a person who views running as an emergency procedure, but it happens to fall on the day I booked Alcatraz tour. I received a notice "encouraging" us to take public transportation and allow extra travel time.

Saturday San Francisco market
Priority: Really want it
Added: 2015-07-25 by another contributor
We'll take the ferry from Alameda. It only happens on Saturday while we're here. SUP lessons will have to wait.

View from the balcony
Priority: Like it a lot

First morning! OK, we had to crane our neck to get this picture, and so far we have witnessed no foul play.
