Spreckles Park

I would be remiss if I did not discuss Coronado Island.  It is just off San Diego harbor and is what I term "Pleasantville." Everything is perfect on this island.  Everything.  The weather, the people, the houses, the lawns, the shops, the cars,  etc...It's almost creepy how perfect it is here.  Justin has been stationed at the Special Warfare Center here on Coronado where prospective students try out to be Navy SEALS.  We are currently staying in a condo on the island while we get settled in.  We would have loved to live on Coronado but we would have had to take out a loan just to afford the rent on a home smaller than what I lived in Rota.  I was not about to move into a place like that again so we opted to move out in the burbs of San Diego instead.  
Spreckles Park-aka "Fairytale Land" according to Olivia-is a popular park in the center of town.  Olivia loves to come here and play, find new friends and most importantly, swing on the swings.

 Papa swings Olivia very high.  Much higher than I would.  She, of course, loves when he pushes her.

Time for me to push.  Olivia is telling me to push her higher.  I refused.
