Temecula, CA (USA)

Mission to San Diego!  Took off from Virginia Beach at 0800 and arrived in California around 1100L. Unlike most trips I've done to North Island, we had trouble with the rental car because they weren't expecting our early arrival... Once that was all sorted out, I had enough time to take my co-pilot (Thor) up to Temecula for the afternoon to visit some winery's. At the Wilson Creek Winery (my family's favorite), we got free wine tasting and a good discount for the famous Almond Champagne they have. Thor and I enjoyed ourselves there for a few hours and then drove over to see my cousin, John, and his family. They recently moved to the town and survived the fires. From their house, they had a great view of the surrounding countryside. On the way home, we got rear ended on I-15... Oh well, it is a rental!  Once we were back in Coronado, we ate dinner (at Miguel's) with Thor and three of his friends from a previous job. Great margaritas all night!  Afterwards, checked into the El Cordova Hotel on Orange Avenue.  Bed late.
