Michelle visits San Diego
August 11, 2007
Michelle has been teaching little minds for the summer, between having her
own mind stuffed full of business, liberal arts and the normally boring stuff
that college freshwomen have to endure in order to attain the degree that
attracts their attention. I felt sorry for her and gave her an early birthday
present, a two week trip to California to see her cousins in San Diego and San
Francisco (now Berkeley). Here are a few photos of her adventures.
(As usual, click on the little
picture to see the BIG picture.)
Boat ride to Coronado
For only 3 bucks, you can take a 20 minute tour of San Diego bay and
go to Coronado for lunch or dinner. We parked by the Maritime Museum
and walked down to the boat. Three bucks and some Thai food later,
we rode back to the pier and went home. Here are scenes from the
trip. |

La Jolla Cove and the Great Snorkling Adventure
One of the things Michelle had on her list was to snorkle. Since
this is California not Hawaii, there are few places to go so we
found ourselves at La Jolla Cove along with a few hundred other
swimmers. I gave Michelle my Nikon underwater camera and she got
some very good photos. This was her first time as an underwater
photographer. |

Shooting
This was my idea. I needed to test some .45 reloads before finishing
my loading for the year and Michelle was curious about guns. I have
a nice, easy to learn 22 cal with a scope. She took to it naturally.
As we always say, the proof is on the paper. |
This was her first twenty rounds at 15 yards. A big, big WOW!!! |
I made it a little harder on her and moved the target back to 20
yards. Still very good. |
Finally, we put the pedal to the metal and moved her all the way
back to the 25 yard line. Still great groups. |
I also gave her a chance to shoot the .357 using .38 special ammo. |
