San Diego Day 3

For the third day of our trip, we took a harbor cruise and visited the beach at Coronado Island.

When we woke up in the morning, we told Lincoln that we would be going on a boat in the ocean. He was really excited to get there and start his adventure. David and I were also excited for our mini cruise. We got to ride on the little white boat behind us.


We got the the dock before it was time to board the boat and Lincoln didn't enjoy waiting for our turn to get on the ship. This picture was taken mid-conniption right before he licked the sidewalk. That was pretty gross. Despite all the traveling and waiting we did on our trip, this was Lincoln's only melt-down. He was SUCH a good traveler.

Once we were able to board, life was good again.

Linc really liked hearing the boats toot their horns and seeing all the wild life. We saw these little guys sun bathing in the afternoon heat.

We also saw some dolphins being trained for the military. It was pretty awesome! I did not know that the military uses dolphins in the bay to help patrol the area for unwanted visitors and weapons. How cool!

Perhaps Lincoln's favorite part of the cruise was seeing all the helicopters and airplanes flying over the ocean. The harbor is really close to the airport. Also, in the harbor are some man made islands used by the military. These islands hold hundreds of different aircraft. On one island alone, over 200 helicopters are housed. Every time a helicopter flew over us, Lincoln went nuts!

He spotted one!

In the words of Lincoln, "there it is!" This was the phrase he used every time he saw a helicopter. This one is a Coast Guard helicopter.

This is the Star of India. This ship has been around the world more than 20 times!

After the cruise, we headed to lunch at The Fish Market.

We sat on the deck right over the ocean. It was amazing! During our meal, helicopters buzzed over our heads the entire time. We loved it.


After lunch, we drove across the Coronado Bridge to go to the beach. We had fun playing in the waves and playing in the sand. Lincoln was not so sure about the waves and endless water, but he was happy as long as I was holding him.






After a day filled with sun and ocean, we were pooped. Even Lincoln asked to go back to the hotel for a nap. By the time we got back to our room, it was time for a light dinner and some baseball. Lincoln fell asleep on our bed watching the end of the Yankee game. We got him in his bed and rested up for another full day in the morning.
