Throughout the summer season SeaWorld has a fireworks display to signal closing time.

We seldom watch anymore, but tonight was worth watching from our deck. As just a few minutes past the finale SpaceX launched a Falcon Heavy from Vandenburg.
As the finale finished,

The sky was clear with a sliver moon, while Fran and I watched the launch live on my cell phone.

The rocket would be here in just a few minutes. It was so worth watching for it.

WOW!
The San Diego Surf is our local soccer club. They have their practice field at Surf Sports Park in Del Mar, near the Polo Fields, just east of I-5.

The name 'Surf' is a bit confusing with the ocean and associated sports, in this blog it will refer to soccer not to surfing. .Here’s why - The daughter of my niece plays soccer for the Tacoma Evolution. They lost in their bid last week in the National Championships, but are here in Del Mar to compete for the Surf Cup.

Even though grandniece Audrey was not playing I decided to watch the team play. Teams from all across US came to compete in this Best of the Best event.
Tacoma, in white, is taking on Dallas, in blue.

Tacoma scored first, but Dallas quickly tied it up.

But the Tacoma girls soon showed their abilities and easily defeated Dallas 5-1.

As I mentioned in my last post I set a goal to walk the reopened OB Pier. Fran and I set out to check it out.

Yup, it’s long, the longest concert pier on the west coast at just under
2000’

A popular surfing spot, but the waves were not cooperating that day.

The W.O.W. Café sign has been repainted.

Their website indicated they were still closed, so I figured they’d be opening soon. But they were indeed open for business with their full menu!
We completed our walk and ordered our fish tacos. We ordered the fish taco plate with fries and slaw as we can split those and a fish taco.

The tacos come on 2 tortilla shells to hold all the fillings. There are enough fillings to separate the shells to make 2 tacos or 1 extra long taco.
WOW! the W.O.W. is back.
Work continues to progress in De Anza Cove. We plan to walk there next.
What a spectacular variety of sky entertainment!! Good for you getting to the end of that very long pier and back. Glad there were tasty fish tacos to reward you :-))
ReplyDeleteHi Jodee! it was indeed a very good week to enjoy several events ... and a surprise to find W.O.W. serving fish tacos.
DeleteGood times. We have not seen fireworks up close and personal for several year. Pier walking and people watching sounds like a lot of fun and the fish tacos look delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe are fairly close to SeaWorld, with a good angle for watching their fireworks while laying in bed. I suspect we enjoyed walking the pier and those fish tacos more than the kids did waiting for a wave.
DeleteThat was a full night's entertainment after the Fireworks.
ReplyDeleteNicely rebuilt pier and the Fish Tacos look delicious.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Thanks Rick! The Pier is slated to be replaced, but still no funds allocated for that project. Tacos are always welcome.
DeleteBest to you and Kathy!
Yea, yea and triple yea! Fish tacos at the pier! This is the best news of the week! Definitely a great day! And congrats for making that walk…I love going there when we visit! Last visit it was closed at the cafe and we couldn’t walk to the end. Awesome fireworks and so cool that you can see them from your deck. Go Tacoma girls!
DeleteYou're right it's also my idea of the Triple Crown! We had a pretty nice week as did you with the clouds and birds visiting.
DeleteThe Tacoma gals need a win today to make into the final round tomorrow.
Lots of excitement! Especially your walking the very long pier. Congratulations!! So glad things are moving along rapidly. The fish tacos look so good!! Yum! Beautiful fireworks photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam! It was indeed a good week, with a variety of fun activities ... and tacos!
DeleteI haven't seen fireworks in decades working in parks. Not this year in MOAN. Tacos look scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteSeaWorld's fireworks are a nightly event during the tourist season, and we can watch them from the deck. The fish tacos are indeed scrumptious.
