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.
As promised, we made the trip to Avalon on our anniversary. We stayed in the same hotel suite where we spent our wedding night. This time, we went on an excursion to seal rocks, a habitat for seals and sea lions by the east end of the island. We took an open air vessel from Avalon along the island coastline to the habitat. Later in the day, we went to the Botanical Gardens and the Wrigley Memorial. We had a very good trip this year, and enjoyed it very much.
When we made this year’s trip to Catalina, we went over on the helicopter. We took the boat back after our nice stay there. Click on the > button to fly with us to Avalon.
We bought her a “youth” model shotgun which was more her size than the full-sized version. But just as effective . . .

After seeing some (new to us) Native American ruins and National Monuments, we wound up at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It was one of those picturesque summer days where sun, clouds and a couple of cloudbursts in the distance could be seen.
