Old Town and the Beach

Sunday, I bade farewell to Christine and met up with Libby and Jeff for
brunch at a German restaurant out in La Mesa. Libby had friends from
Illinois staying in Coronado, so for the first time in my life I went
out to Coronado island. Libby had to go to a choral rehearsal, which
left Jeff and I to wander around for a few hours. First we tried to find
the rocks on Coronado beach that spell out "CORONADO" from the air (missed
them by a few hundred feet, alas!) then went to Mission Bay Park to fly
a kite. Upon failing to encounter the kite in the car, we started messing
with a hydraulic rocket, as found in a recent issue of Strong Bad Email.
Worked just about as well for us as it did for him.
