Christmas Day 2010

Bidou and Camille taking it easy on Christmas Day!

San Diego on Christmas Eve

Historic San Diego - Gaslamp Quarter

We paid $10.50 for 2 small cups of Ben & Jerry's ice cream so we made sure to licked the bowl.

I think we are lost!

In front of the Kansas City Barbecue restaurant where they filmed in 1985 the bar scene in Top Gun.

Hotel Del Coronado

Bidou standing on the ocean side of the Hotel Del Coronado. The hotel was established in 1888 and is a National Historic Landmark. It has also been the backdrop for the comedy classic "Some Like it Hot" starring Marilyn Monroe. Eleven U.S. Presidents has stayed at the Del.

Inside the hotel - it's amazing! Just beautiful.

A beautiful decorated and giant Christmas tree near the front desk.

There is also an outside skating rink - 25$ (including skate rental) for 3 hours of skating near the ocean.

San Diego RV Resort

Where we've been staying for the month!

Front Desk/Registration

Every time we walked Camille around the RV park we would see this sign.

Bidou is demonstrating that he really needs to get the Lap-Band. Hope that our insurance pays for it :)

Fun with Camille

Bidou playing with his baby girl!!

Go Camille Go !!!

Christmas Luncheon at Chazel Capital

A small spread prepared by "moi" to celebrate Christmas with Bidou's co-workers. As you can see Bidou was the first to eat my delicious meatballs!

Richard and Roxy

Brad eating vegetables only!!

Kyle!!

Rain Rain go away... come back another day!!

Since last Friday it has been non stop rain in San Diego. This is the view from my bedroom window. When we arrived, there was a small little creek behind CCTop but now it is a full blown river with very heavy current !!! Scary!

Sunday afternoon with Gary & Amy

We meet up with old Morristown friends Amy & Gary in San Diego - well actually only Gary is the old one!! We went to this nice Mexican restaurant where the food, local beers and company was great!

Then we went to their ocean side appartment in La Jolla, CA. Here is the view from their balcony! The view is indeed worth every penny of the $10,000/month they pay on rent!!! :)

Another shoot of the view! Notice the dog hanging out on the neighboor's balcony ~ too cute.

We were happy to notice that our xmas card (first on left) was on display among many others. We are simply hoping that they did not display it because they knew we were coming over :)

Saturday evening with Bob & Nicole

We had a great visit with Nicole & Bob. They came over with a heart filled stew packed with Bidou's favorite - potatoes and Nicole's special recipe for "Poudding Chomeur".

Pudding chomeur topped with a some whipped cream - very yummy!!

Sick of being sick!

We've been in San Diego for the last 4 days and haven't done NOTHING beside sleeping and complaining because of this stupid cold!!! Glad that we will be here until December 27th!
