|
|
We had a nice flight yesterday out here to the west coast in San Diego, CA to the military base. My wife and I are visiting our daughter, son-in-law, and SEEING OUR BRAND NEW BABY GRANDDAUGHTER!!
This photo is sooooo awesome!!! I am holding my granddaughter for the very first time, while a little scruffy, unshaven, etc... (hey, I'm on vacation!) and she is looking right at me!
CAPTION:
Granddaughter: "Hi Grandpa! Mommy told me that you are a trumpet player!"
Me: "That's right sweetie! You will play trumpet too once you get old enough!"

Since you're out here, take a look at HornTrader.com to see if anything strikes your fancy. You can make an appointment with Steve and get to play some fabulous horns. |

Back home in Virginia...
San Diego, CA was beautiful. We visited the San Diego Zoo, and my son-in-law and I went swimming in the Pacific and even "body surfing" in 6-7 footers too, at the big beach in Mission Bay!
I have a bunch of photos and will try to upload a few...

Also while in San Diego, my son-in-law and I visited a beer brewery company called Ballast Point. Lord, did we indulge in some beer while on vacation...
