We spent a week with family in San Diego exploring up and down the coastline (see previous 5 videos). We stayed in a house in La Jolla. It was our home base and where I watched the cousins perform many pool acrobatics. Thanks, Mimi and Pops for shacking up the whole clan for a fun …

We did as much ‘tourist-ing’ while in San Diego, CA as we could fit in. We ate at Liberty Public Market several times and everyone enjoyed it. We went from a house in town down a tunnel inside the La Jolla Sea Cave. We watched an exciting ‘bases loaded at the bottom of the ninth’ …

My second visit to one of the best zoos in the nation (if not the best). It takes a full day to see it all (and I’m still not sure we did). That darn reptile house will continue to give me food for nightmares for years to come (again). [rattlesnakes are as scared of you …

We explored some great places around San Diego (mainly the La Jolla area) on foot. We hiked around the Torrey Pines Gliderport area (but didn’t walk off the ledge like some crazy people there did). While there we hiked down to Black’s Beach (a nude optional beach where we did NOT fit in). We hiked …
We visited the USS Midway Museum while in San Diego. I’d been here many years ago but it is totally worth a redo. The size and scale of this ship is fascinating. As we toured the entire ship I tried to imagine what it would be like working on this ship when it was in …
WOW! Pickett was superb! I think this was the best state park we’ve visited this year. Everything we did on this visit was excellent. The 5 trails we hiked were all excellent with very interesting things to see all along the way (natural bridges, caves, streams, plants, mushrooms, waterfalls, ladders, etc.). The food was excellent …
We visited the home of a famous WWI hero from Tennessee. We toured a home gifted to him after the war, had a picnic at a gristmill on the river, and then went on a ranger-led auto tour of some important sites around his home. I didn’t know a lot about Alvin prior to visiting …

Cordell Hull was a famous Tennessee figure who was a lawyer and long-time politician. In this video, we visited his birthplace and I said lots of things (bad?) about lawyers and politicians. Sorry…not sorry! If you identify as either of these please skip this installment of the channel (or don’t and throw shade in the …

Our second TN state park where we couldn’t find the thing the park is named for!?! We eventually found the “standing stone”…IN ANOTHER TOWN?!? Tennessee summer heat was on full display while we were at Standing Stone which curtailed some of our plans. We visited another state park up the road (as planned) and took …
