Cabrillo National Monument

Sunday afternoon we met everyone at Cabrillo National Monument.  This is one place that the Schumacher Family has not been to yet.  The monument is located on Point Loma.  There was quite a long line of cars waiting to get in, but we just waited.  Since this is a National Monument, Mom used her senior park's pass which saved us the $5 entry fee.  I got through the gate and just followed the traffic down to the bottom.  I was surprised that my phone welcomed me to Mexico.  Finding a parking space was a chore, the first parking lot was full and had to wait for people to either move so I could get a space or move so that I could get out.  We found a space at the second lot, but didn't see the others.  That was when we realized that we should have went up to the top to the visitor center.

Made our way to the visitor center and we saw Mary, Ed and the girls.  It wasn't too long before Katie and the boys arrived.  We had a good time walking around, visiting and seeing the sights.  We were able to get the 4 generation picture here and also a photo of Mom with her granddaughters and great grandsons.  Unfortunately Lexie & Charlie couldn't join us as they were busy elsewhere.  Lexie had a prior committment on the same weekend that we arrived.  That gives us a reason for another road trip.

After visiting Cabrillo, we had dinner with Bob & Patty Payne.  It was a surprise that Sharon and her family were there as well, so we got alot of good visiting in with the relatives.  The time sure did go by fast.

Here are some photos of our fun.
