First stop this morning was the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, I posted lots of fishy pictures last time, so I kept them to a minimum this time ;)
I made friends with a cute baby who was fascinated with the giant aquarium, and petted a sea cucumber, it was so squishy! Thank you Birch Aquarium for another great experience!

Next was The Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial. It's a beautiful memorial on top a the highest hill in La Jolla, stunning views! There are rows and rows of plaques dedicated to those who served in wars. My favorites of course were the WWII plaques, with lots of cute sailors, pilots, and even pretty ladies! My very favorites were the pictures with couples, they are just too cute. If you'll notice the plaque for Parmely T. Ferrie and Rosemary Ferrie says at the base "Cadet nurse Rosemary would wear a wedding gown made from the parachute Parmely used to bail out of his B-24 Bomber."

How darling is that?

We ended the day with a walk around La Jolla Cove, a yummy lunch, and chocolate truffles. And I found the fridge I want, that blue is the color of all my kitchen appliances.

And this, well, this is for Kendra:
