San Diego Here We Come!!

We planned a fun trip with the Turners staying in a beach house in San Diego for a week, and man did we enjoy every second of it! We were always out taking every advantage our are vacation! The first day we spent the morning at a Point Loma Tide Pool at Cabrillo National Monument Park. It was so cool, none of us had ever been to a tide pool, and we all loved it! After the tide pools we went to the Old Point Loma Lighthouse. Which was neat, cause I had never seen a light house, and the history of the Light house was interesting as well. They say the Old Point Loma Lighthouse stood watch over the entrance to San Diego Bay for 36 years. At dusk on November 15, 1855, the light keeper climbed the winding stairs and lit the light for the first time. What seemed to be a good location 422 feet above sea level, however, had a serious flaw. Fog and low clouds often obscured the light. On March 23, 1891, the light was extinguished and the keeper moved to a new lighthouse location closer to the water at the tip of the Point. Today, the Old Point Loma Lighthouse still stands watching over San Diego, it was really amazing to see the small spaces that the keeper stayed in. Then we ended the day having a blast at Ocean side beach.
