the fam comes to visit

On Saturday, we drove down to San Diego where we met my family. We surprised my sister (we actually were able to sneak up on her in the airport) while she was waiting for the rest of the family from Minnesota. It was fun to have a few moments visiting before everyone else arrived.
Soon the rest of the family arrived. (Mom was busy taking pictures...) We had a short time to visit together while awaiting the luggage. Then we shuttled my brother and sisters over to the dock where they started to board their cruise ship for Mexico.
Jim and I took the folks over to Coronado Island where we enjoyed a walk on the beach with mom and dad. The wind was a bit brisk but the day was sunny and pleasant. I kept reminding my mother that it was the end of January and there she was, strolling on the beach in the sunshine with short sleeves! (Back in MN it was below zero when they had left that morning!)
We also walked thru the gardens and the lobby of the del Coronado Hotel. The place was very impressive and the gardens were lovely.
