Point Loma

Jacob's first visit to the ocean (out of the womb).

Jacob liked watching the waves. This would not be the place you'd want to be when a rogue wave hit the point:

Jen wanted to see some whales, but we only saw a few pods of dolphins and a lot of surfers.

Point Loma is largely covered with the graves of military men. The pretty white graves are in perfect rows and they map the contour of the steep hills. There are over 50,000 military men buried here (Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery).

Jennie and I spent just a short time here, but I have reflected on seeing this place many times. I hold this place to be sacred. My thoughts about the service men who have died for the United States have overwhelmed me with gratitude to the point of tears. The sheer numbers of graves speak volumes to those that are grateful for our God-given freedoms. There are about 60 Robbins buried here and 2 Ostlers.

Male Turkey Combat:

So, I made Jennie go snake hunting with me during our San Diego trip. She said we wouldn't find anything. She was way wrong. We found some cool herps and this turkey that mistook our rental car for a rival male. It really wouldn't allow us to pass.
