Down at the foot of Pacific Avenue in San Pedro, is the ‘Land’s End’ scenic viewpoint. Today was a day after rain in the area, and left the sky textured with beautiful clouds and good visibility. We posed for this while we were there. After the visit here, we went to Point Fermin Park and took pictures of the ocean, Island and lighthouse.
After a few days of seasonable but cool weather, we got a warm day just in time for the weekend. We took the short drive to Redondo Beach and stopped at an overlook near the pier. We’re seen here posing for a photo with the pier, ocean and Santa Monica Mountains in the background.
Yesterday, we went to the gun show and bought a few novelty targets to use at the range. One target resembled a dart board, so we decided to play a game with .38 special “darts.” The only problem was the “bargain” reloads we bought at the show made the range look like an old-fashioned smoke-filled bar room (cough!).
Regardless, we had a lot of fun, hit the targets and enjoyed the shoot.
We’re pretty regular when it comes to shooting our guns at the range these days. In this short video, Verna demonstrates her Remington 870 Express Youth 20 gauge shotgun.
This weekend, we prepared fajitas for dinner. Since we’re having a warm spell due to the Santana offshore wind flow, we decided not to use the oven and cook outdoors on the BBQ. While stuff was cooking, we relaxed on the patio swing. Of course, when dinner was served, it was delicious!
We traveled to the San Diego area to attend the spectacular airshow at the Marine Corps Air Station, Miramar. We saw a variety of incredible aerial demonstrations including several civilian acrobatic and precision flight demonstrations. The best stuff, however, was the military demonstrations, including the Golden Knights Parachute team, the AV8 Harrier demonstration, a fly-by of the Osprey compound lift aircraft, a U.S. Marine assault demonstration and the highlight was the Navy Blue Angels.
