It was a GRAND TIME!!

Happy Holidays to all.. 

I can not believe we are at the close of another year! This year has been a whirlwind of events for my family.. So the love of my life took 6 days out and headed to Coronado and stayed at The Del Hotel for some quiet reflection time of our year and started planning 2014 hopes & dreams. 


This guy came to our balcony every morning and night... We loved him... 

My home is this color blue - loved the red door.. 

We walked everyday and loved Ocean Drive... 

Be still my heart the homes were fabulous! 

I loved the life guard shacks! 

Nothing like the sound of the ocean - 

We picked up shells... 

Admired the beauty of a sand dollar... 


Marveled at the beauty of the HOTEL DEL  


Another beauty ....  

Wow.... 

Walked and walked the beach daily.. weather was amazing around 70 degrees when we were there.. 


Remembered why I fell in love with this guy 13 years ago... 

Watched the sunset every evening... 

We had Ocean view room...

Take the time, rekindle and remember why you fell in love...

Happy Holidays!
