Imperial Beach

We visited the Maritime Museum while on vacation in San Diego.  Our favorite ship was the Star of India, the worlds oldest active sailing ship.  The kids enjoyed climbing around and looking up at the tall masts.  I don't think I would make a good sailor.  I started feeling sick even with the slight lull of the ship in the harbor.  







He would make a good pirate, don't you think?

The submarines were fascinating.  It's amazing the instrumentation  they can fit inside those machines.  It was extremely claustrophobic to say the least.





We love Imperial Beach!  The beach was wide and sandy with no rocks or crowds.  This is definitely the best beach we've visited by far.  The weather was a little cool (68 degrees) but it was still fun. I had a great time boogie boarding while Scott and Carter discovered skim boarding.

 Ryan loves digging big holes.


Unfortunately we got burned on the first day of three at the beach...
