Lovely Spring!

Easter Sunday in the garden at church
Jerry gave Mina 2 baskets of Helen's knitting supplies which Mina
will use this summer to teach the MOPS Moms how to knit.
The Coronado Island Bridge
Kirk is talking to Heather about the wedding photographer she
chose with the San Diego skyline in the background.
We got dressed up and went out to dinner at a lovely Italian restaurant on the bay.
This is the view from our room before we left.


Then we went to the Lamb's Players Theatre to see "The Rivalry." I would highly recommend seeing it when it comes to your local theater. It is the dramatization of the debates between Stephen Douglas & Abe Lincoln.
The next day we went on a tour of the Gem Institute of America in Carlsbad.
Here is an amazing display of handmade jewelry, all in platinum!
This chess set weighs in at 12 pounds of GOLD! (@$1,600 an oz!)
There were many displays of all different types of gems. I learned a lot!
This year, we skipped the tour and parked out car above the Field of
Flowers & ate a picnic lunch.
We had a wonderful 3 days!!
