Zoom Homework: California a Great Place to Visit
This past week, Thomas J Nelson offered up some of the outstanding sites of California that were made to be viewed. As he started near his hometown, and detailed so many of the sites around San Diego, I recalled some of the vacation spots we had visited.
As San Diego is a coastal town, it offers so much for so many.
As it is a deep-water port on our west coast, our Navy has a large presence in the area as does the Air Force with the training for fighter pilots takes place at the Miramar base in CA.
There are also many other training bases for the marines at Pendleton as well as the Coast Guard.
Of course, there are many recreation locations as well, many near the Coronado beach area as evidenced by the 2 people frolicking in the surf above, They do look vaguely familiar.
One of the more famous sites on that beach would be the Hotel Coronado, a grand structure still maintained in its grandeur from the past time as it was built in 1888 and part of the Hilton hotel gallery of special properties.
It was also made additionally famous in the movie Some Like It Hot with Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon and has a lifelike poster in one of its walkways.
The San Diego area is also home to the world-famous zoo, wildlife park, as well as many Championship golf courses and the LEGOLAND park.
Thomas talked about showing his home movies and obviously I can do the same as we have visited all over CA across 4 long vacations and it was well worth the time.
