We recently returned from a vacation stay at Coronado, California<\/a> (with an extended stopover at Las Vegas, but that’s another story for another time). This was our fourth visit to Coronado, and we seem to be getting better with practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stayed at the 1906 Lodge<\/a>, a 17-room bed-and-breakfast named not for its address (which is actually 1060) but for the date of construction. It’s a delightful place, within walking distance of just about everything on the island\/peninsula\/city (there’s some confusion about how, exactly, we should refer to Coronado), yet far enough away from the main drag (Orange Avenue) that traffic noise is non-existent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m planning on posting a more in-depth report of our stay (which I know you’re dying to see, absent any accounts of oral surgeries done without anesthesia) but I wanted to start off with a video. On our last full day in\/on Coronado, Debbie and I rented a tandem bicycle and toured the peninsula\/city\/island\/whatever, and I recorded some of the afternoon on a GoPro camera attached to the handlebar. If you’ve never been to Coronado, you may not have a clear mental image of the beauty of the surroundings, and while the video doesn’t necessarily do it justice, perhaps you’ll get a feel of what we enjoyed every day of our stay. If nothing else, the Copland soundtrack might entertain and relax you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
