In the La Jolla area a bit north of our hotel are the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Stephen Birch Aquarium and the Salk Institute. Jonas Salk, of polio vaccine fame, lived here, I think... at least he died here.
A 3 day airshow was on this weekend so we saw some jets blasting around. We chuckled when we heard the Snowbirds would be there - Glenn has seen enough of them to last a lifetime. The airshow was being held at the Miramar Naval Air Station - the large grey area east of La Jolla.
Our main destination was the Quail Botannical Gardens in Encinitas. Otherwise, plans were loose.
