A fantastic day in San Diego.  We snuck in between the rain that washed out the city yesterday and the storms heading to the coast in the days ahead.  We had a tiny bit of drizzle while we were indoors at the USS Midway … now a museum.  Even that rain was accompanied by blue patches in the sky.  Afterwards, the sun came out and we had a beautiful day to enjoy the city.  We appreciated what little warmth the golden orb in the sky gave us — the day’s high was 60F (16C).  Layering our clothes, we were quite comfortable during the day, but once the sun went down, the chill that descended with the darkness was … well, downright cold would be a good way to describe it.
