A Morning On The Boardwalk In San Diego

A Morning On The Boardwalk In San Diego


I was walking down the boardwalk yesterday morning and here is what I saw.

Parents were walking hand in hand as their kids were running in circles pointing and giggling with excitement and anticipation of playing in the sets of wave’s coming to shore.

In the water were surfers and boogie boarders riding the waves while others were waiting for the perfect wave to come that would give them a wild ride of pure fun and adrenaline mixed with saltwater and white foam.

There was a bodysurfer who I saw catch a wave and go through the "washing machine". He was tumbled and tossed at the end of the wave and came up yelling and hooting with a smile and expressions of excitement on his face I could see even as far away as I was.

On the sand shade umbrellas were already up some in small groups and some alone but still a part of the whole picture I was taking in. They reminded me of big colored mushrooms in a fair type atmosphere of barbeque smoke, family’s laughing and playing and a never ending ring of horse shoes hitting the poles.

Music was everywhere and so were the endless streams of rollerblades and bikes with big balloon tires. Everywhere I looked were strollers with little fingers sticking out pointing? I laughed.

I couldn't help think to myself. "I wish this wasn't a work day" I took a sip of my coffee and walked home to make ready for the rest of the day.

Did you get the chance to go?

One of the things you will notice from the Midway flight deck is the huge size difference between Midway and any of the Nimitz-class carriers over at North Island. Even when the Ranger, Kitty Hawk, and Constellation were homeported there while I was in, seeing one of the Nimitz-class was a huge difference in size. The Midway is a WWII-era Essex-class carrier and very much smaller in comparison. DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?

I should make time.

I haven't had time to go see the Midway yet. Work takes up a lot of my time. Thanks for the recommendation Jdub I will probably make time to see it now that it is in my mind to do so. I like history. Eggsovresy

Have you been to the Midway museum yet?

That is something to see, that being the former USS Midway as a floating museum with a selection of different aircraft from Midway's history. The ship is at the former Broadway Navy pier downtown and across from Coronado. The Midway had recently come back from Yokosuka, Japan when I was getting out, so it was quite a shock to see her moored at the Broadway pier when my wife and I visited San Diego a few years ago.

Hey thanks jdub. I like San

Hey thanks jdub. I like San Diego a lot too. My favorite part of San Diego is the roller coaster in Mission Beach. From where I am at right now I here the screams it causes late into the night :) The atmosphere is awesome. I just came in from the beach about a half hour ago. I like to swim. Eggsovresy
