Haunted Ships and House Hunting

Clover and I got on a plane and flew to San Diego for a Thursday night and came back Saturday night. We left the big kids with Grandma. The whole time there was grey, overcast, rainy, and chilly. I didn't pack any jackets and also forgot Clover's jammies (she had to sleep in her clothes the whole time). So anyway we went down to look at homes. We didn't know what the area was like, so it was good that we got to see what areas we liked best. We decided NO for Escondido and yes for San Marcos. We found a house that we love and will put a offer on if our house sells. Right now we don't know if the offer will go through. We are praying and hoping. Clover was excellent the whole trip. On Friday night we went out to eat with co-workers and Clover threw-up in the restaurant. NICE. Good thing we had extra clothes in the car. She looked at me and said "home". On both plane trips Clover sat next to little old ladies that just adored Clover. On the trip home Mason gave me his first class seat and he took the coach seat with Clover. (so nice of him). On Saturday we had time before we caught our flight to tour some old ships from the 1500's. This is the Star Of India (which was shown on an episode of Ghost Hunters...and proved to have ghost activity). We saw none of that, but it was fun to tour it.



This is another ship docked next to the Star of India...this ship was used in the film Master and Commander. In the ship they had Master and Commander playing and you could see in the background of some scenes in the movie that you were standing in the exact spot as in some of the scenes. This was a real ship that sailed in the 1600's, 1700's, 1800;s.











Clover on the cannon. She loved to poke her head out the hole and see down into the water. When we took her off the cannon she freaked out and had to carry her out.
