Happy Birthday Grandma Hawkins and Happy Independence Day!

Happy July 3rd birthday to Grandma Hawkins! We are hoping to see her in Sept. when we visit D.C. but we still send lots of love from the West Coast to the East Coast.

Happy Independence Day to everyone! In our tiny beach town, almost 700,000 people are expected today and although they banned alcohol on the beach, I think the beautiful weather will still attract most people. We could do the truly American thing and rent out one of our parking spots for some good money, but we are storing the kayaks there temporarily- another San Diego issue- no storage! This will be our 4th celebration of the Fourth in San Diego. Luckily we can wait until 8:45 to walk to Mission Bay and get a prime viewing spot for Sea World fireworks, PB fireworks as well as the three sites along Coronado, Downtown and Ocean Beach-depending on the wind and marine layer we should be able to view all of them. (Hana will be watching Animal Planet at home in an attempt to drown out potentially scary noises though she has done well this season with the nightly Sea World display). Have fun!
