More of our San Diego Vacation


I'm thinking that some photos of our visit will speak louder than any words I might have to add.  Enjoy!

Hippopotamus ... thats imposarus (well not really).


These are just a few (as you can tell) of the many photos we all took.  May I invite you to plan your own visit?  It is truly an outstanding zoo!

Lunch Time • It's TGI Fridays!

Next stop?  A San Diego Mission!


This is (get ready for a fairly long name) Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala´ It was established on July 16, 1769 in Mission Valley, just northeast of the the city.  I found it a lovely peaceful place to visit.


Facing the alter.


Inside the garden area, looking to the front of the Mission's Bell Tower.


A statue of Franciscan priest, Father Junipero Serra, founder of the California Missions.

Just as a side note the Garmin iPhone app pronounced "Junipero" as "uneepero."  Sometimes the Garmin's pronounciation takes a bit of getting used to.

Stay tuned ... coming up ... the OTHER reason the Heckman's and Lauterback's are in San Diego!
