The Big 40!
Coast to Coast in 48 hours. We went from our Florida trip and the beaches of the Atlantic to surfing the waves of the Pacific in just 48 hours last week. Steve surprised Ann with a trip to San Diego to fulfill her dream of learning to surf. Grandmas Moe and Schwartz were nice enough to come down to Atlanta and watch the kids the four days we were gone. Hopefully, their time with the children was more fun than our trip and they will make it a semi-annual event.... wishful thinking of course!
Our first morning in San Diego we went for an 4 AM run TOGETHER, had a nice BIG breakfast and headed over to Mission Beach for our surfing lesson. 
The seas were angry the morning of our lesson, but we headed out to conquer the surf regardless. The weather was strange this morning, and it looked like the early stages of a major hurricane! We had so much fun with the surf lessons... we were laughing the entire first hour.
"The natural" riding in the tail end of her wave... not bad for an old bag.
During the lesson, they teach you to relax and work with the wave... don't fight it. Based on Stiv's face, I don't think he was listening. Intensity in ten cities!
If you enjoy the picture of Stiv's wipeout, please contact us as we have many more that are just as good.
We spent part of our second day in La Jolla, enjoying great food, shopping and scenery. Above, Ann is posing with the sea lions in the background.
We capped our first full day off with a beautiful hike through Torrey Pines State Reserve. 
Kayaking through the seven caves of La Jolla was another highlight of the trip. Our guide was making fun of people who actually bring their camera out in the boat protected only by a ziplock bag. Don't worry, ours was a heavy duty freezer ziplock.....
One of the Caves in La Jolla. 
We took stairs down to one of the caves... it turned into kind of a tight fit for Steve.
On our final evening, we headed over to Coronado for dinner with our friend Mary. Here is Ann, in front of the historic Hotel Del.
Stiv met a new friend at lunch!!
