Back to San Diego

We got back into San Diego after rising. I actually got to see us come into the bay and dock - from the balcony of our stateroom. I had to go wake kids up!!! First time all week - they've worn themselves completely out!!

Keith went down and said goodbye again to his Mom and Sis - and wheeled her chair off the ship. I watched for them to wave goodbye from the balcony. After seeing her to Customs, he came back over to reboard (to get us!) and they were having a problem letting him come back!!! I (from the balcony) asked if he was going to be able to come back and help with the kids. . . they let him come back. hehehe

We got our carryone stuff gathered - checked the rooms over again - and took our "stuff" up to the Lido Deck to have breakfast and wait our turn to disembark. I called S'te to let her know we were on the countdown time. Our turn finally came (I think we were last) and we headed for Deck 3 and the door. It was really quite an easy, quick moving line and no one seemed to be having any problems. S'te was on her way, Rick and April's color had already been called - so they should be out there waiting, our bags were there all together, Mom's chair was right there - we were good to gooooo!!

Then, here comes S'te. She pulls into the lot to pick us up and the others won't let us thru in time - the attendant makes her back up, pull out, and go back around - with us trying really hard to get to the parking space!! She told him we were "right there" and he made her do it anyway. Some people just shouldn't have any power at all!!

So, back in the same space, all the luggage loaded (and it fit!!), drop off for the rental, and we head out to the Elmores. Unload, all the kids had to show thier treasures, talk all at once, and we just sat down and laid back!!

April and family are off early in the morning to head back to Missouri. They are staying right across from one of the greatest mall areas in the San Diego area - and more shopping needs done - so we go to dinner at Carnitas Uropan - and call it a day. Back to pick up kids, say goodbyes, wish and pray for traveling mercies, and then again bid really fond farewells.
