I lived in Pacific Beach, a suburb of San Diego, my parents lived in La Jolla. Many happy hours were spent with my mother and my first little daughter wandering the gardens and I always loved the Tower of Jewels which is in some of your pictures. My mom was a professional artist and used to paint in the gardens... When my first son was born we took him, too and all five of my children had many a day spent at the San Diego Zoo.<br />The Hotel "Del" is another favorite place and I used to have my creations in one of the shops in the basement. Coronado has many lovely little shops to prowl through. I will be watching for your post.<br /><br />If you go back, be sure and visit Scripps Museum of Oceanography...another favorite haunt! It is in La Jolla.<br /><br />Wonderful nostalgic post!<br />JilJil~Say It With Roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700862863266867892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-29532920952213941732011-10-29T10:38:11.832-04:002011-10-29T10:38:11.832-04:00We spent many happy days wandering Balboa Park...t...We spent many happy days wandering Balboa Park...thanks for bringing those memories back !<br />The Hotel del Coronado is another exceptional place to visit.Francie...The Scented Cottage Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317339284013000879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-33813296468159805692011-10-29T10:23:29.078-04:002011-10-29T10:23:29.078-04:00A few year ago have stay a week on San Diego, it ...A few year ago have stay a week on San Diego, it was a nice place, a great poort, you have a nice blog, also reccipes, on my blogKatanga memeory, go Moambe full exotics recipes,<br />Best regard from Belgium,Happy HalloweenLouisettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634622985747195310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-38964443905330944342011-10-29T05:11:50.162-04:002011-10-29T05:11:50.162-04:00thanks for joining weekend flowers* with this love...thanks for joining weekend flowers* with this lovely pics :) i´m glad you found us!Tina´s PicStoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144127584040088355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-1217332604889135952011-10-29T02:08:58.270-04:002011-10-29T02:08:58.270-04:00Wow, how beautiful that you got to experience all ...Wow, how beautiful that you got to experience all that!

As usual, smiling here, I have company. Little time to blog and visit happens when we have company. Also, as usual! However, I have hit the deck early today to visit some of my favorite people and that would be you.<br /><br />Your trip to San Diego and your past and present posts were a good read this morning. I drank in every word and photo with my coffee. As usual, lovely photos and info about the park and the city. I love the roses and the garden tours.<br /><br />Have a great day.<br />XO, JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496069719875179788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-91291416350000317842011-10-27T03:10:54.131-04:002011-10-27T03:10:54.131-04:00Pat, I really love this post, which I found on the...Pat, I really love this post, which I found on the bunny trail of the blogosphere. The couple who build our house in Laguna were major gardeners and very good friends with Kate Sessions. She brought the Jacaranda Tree among others to Southern California. Kate was a fascinating woman!
