The Seal: A San Diego Boat with Wheels
August 28, 2008
Ok, I am not going to lie here. On my walks through Seaport Village we constantly see this boat with wheels and it just makes me laugh. It seems so hokey and touristy though the lines to board are consistently long. And, as The Seal drives on by I can't help but notice all of the smiling faces and excited kids in a boat cruising down Harbor Drive. It's classic! So I decided to do a Read more...

Batman has the Batmobile-and we all know what a fat getaway vehicle that is. San Diegan's have a pretty fat getaway vehicle too-the hot air balloon . Sure, it might not be as sleek and fast as the Batmobile but I'm pretty sure the Batmobile doesn't come with sushi and champagne. And, as we all know, getaway vehicles come with a price. Collect your ching-ching, or your vivid imagination, for Read more...

History Lessons:Before the Coronado Bridge
May 22, 2008
[photo credit: wikimedia] We have no idea what it means to arrive in Coronado without the bridge. My girl and I travel this route weekly and point out the bay, the Pacific, the ships-it's spectacular. To know something other than the bridge as a means of transportation to reach Coronado is an education in and of itself. The Maritime Museum in Downtown houses numerous historic ships . Read more...
