San Diego Living, Darling!.....Post Views....28,995

       After a busy Friday of packing, cleaning, several texts and phone calls to friends, catching up on blogging, Gram G was ready to head south....to San Diego!
    Saturday morning dawned chilly with frost on the picnic table and pink/blue skies.  I was ready for a ride to the airport.   


Mt. Hood on the way to the airport.....me, not Mt. Hood...










Getting a custom made salad from Mod Pizza....healthy yummy!!

 LOOK!!  Gram G is #A26 for boarding on Southwest....

So, with only 68 passengers you'd think we'd each have our own row.  A lady chose the aisle seat by me.  We are both SUDOKU fans...
Her name is Peggy.  We will both be flying back on the same flight.  We will probably be seat mates again.  Our 3 flight attendants were all named Kelly.  FYI 

To the left
Mt. St. Helen's with 
Mt. Rainier behind.
