California Vacation Part 3 - San Diego Day 3
One of the few "blips" we had on vacation was that Darrell's phone screen broke, so we started our day back in the Little Italy area of San Diego to try to get it fixed. When it was apparent that we couldn't, then a cappuccino at a little cafe helped get our day started.

California Vacation 2024 Part 2 - San Diego Days 1 & 2
Our first full day in San Diego was Monday, September 9. We happened to be in San Diego during a heat wave, so that first day reached 93 degrees. We had to decide what to do in that heat, so we decided to a Seven Bridges Hike of the city to get a feel for the city

The hike took us through Balboa Park and through several neighborhoods, as well as over seven bridges located within the city (one of which was a suspension bridge).
The afternoon was too hot to do much of anything outside, so Darrell found a drive that took us out of San Diego - Historic Highway 94. The scenery was stunning and we came very close to the Mexican border. A surprise for us was seeing the border wall!
