Meals with friends and visiting the Midway!

On Sunday afternoon we were off to Filippi's in Jamul to meet our friend Jeff.  He's such an interesting guy and it was great hearing about some of his travels.  He takes a big trip every year and is trying to go to every continent, must be the teacher in him!  He is quite a hiker and travels to a lot of out of the way places to go hiking.  We had a good pizza (as always) and good conversation.

On Monday we had lunch with Ted's classmate Steve and his wife Kathe.  We were at the Black Angus off of Mission Gorge and had a nice long lunch.  Our lunch was good and we enjoyed a nice long visit with Steve and Kathe.

Tuesday we picked up our friend Peggy and had lunch at the Mission Valley Cafe.  We enjoy this chain of Cafe's.  After lunch we went down to San Diego Harbor and toured the Midway.   The ship was commissioned as the largest ship in the world in 1945 and was the first ship too large for the Panama Canal.  The ship had a crew of 4,500 (there are a lot of towns with a lot less people)!  In the 47 years of service there were 40 skippers of the Midway!  We couldn't believe just how big the ship is.  If you are on deck you can't even see all the way to the other end!  It's huge!

Today we met Jeri and Stach at Baronna for a little gambling and lunch.  I had a little luck for awhile but poor Ted just couldn't get anything going.  They had a couple new machines, one being Elvis that was a lot of fun.  We left a donation but had a delicious lunch on the patio of the Cafe.  We had a nice view of the golf course and the lake, a good relaxing lunch with Jeri and Stach!

Still enjoying San Diego..."Ain't Life Grand!"
