Coronado, CA in the Spring

Don flew from Houston (USA basketball weekend business) and I flew from Iowa to meet in San Diego Sunday night.  With a rented car we drove across the bridge to Coronado, California.  We checked into the only timeshare hotel on the island - the Coronado Beach Resort.  It is right across the street from the famous Hotel del Coronado dating 1888.

Monday Don had a lunch meeting with sports people and I headed out to the 3rd floor roof top area.  Ahhhh...the sun felt so good.  Don joined me later and we lounged the time away.  We enjoyed our evening dinner at The Beach House in the marina area.  The shrimp, steak & lobster along with salads were superb.  A martini and a mojito capped it off.

We moved rooms when we returned from dinner - the air conditioner wasn't working in our studio room.  They upgraded us to a lovely one bedroom suite on the third floor!  Our precious room temperature was up to 84.

Tuesday morning we took a historical walking tour of Coronado. It was informative and fun.  We found out that The Beach House where we had supper last night was put up as workers were trained to work on Hotel del Coronado.  Hotel del Coronado was the focus in starting Coronado as a place for the rich and famous to vacation.
