2009 Cabrillo Festival - SD Pt 1

Doug, Monica, and I went down to San Diego for the weekend. After our day at Disneyland yesterday, we took the morning easy and didn't get to Cabrillo National Monument until almost noon. After a quick lunch and looking at the little museum, we went up to the Old Point Loma Lighthouse:
We were there on the weekend of the 2009 Cabrillo Festival so there were reenactors!!! This guy was pumped about the whole HI AMY! project.He quite excitedly told us he was in the Peace Corps (of course, that made so much sense). He said he was stationed in Northern Africa. He wanted to know what unit you were in - but none of us knew what that meant so we ignored the question. He was SO EXCITED about this whole thing, yelled at the other reenactors for us to get a HI AMY! picture:The woman with us was really sweet. She said this was her first reenactor gig and was all nervous.

The Peace Corps dude was so excited he almost took off after Miss Cabrillo (the Festival Queen) to get a HI AMY! picture with her. Mon and I talked him out of it - I can't imagine many things would be more petrifying than him running down the hill, yelling, and flailing his sword about.

It was really fun - but we had to leave. Old Town San Diego was calling!
