Barbara celebrated her fifty-eighth birthday with Jim, Charlie and Stella, and Charleen and her new husband, John. The celebrants gathered at an elegant Italian restaurant in Coronado for a champagne toast, then sat down for a great meal...

...with a spectacular view of downtown San Diego.

At the end of the meal, the restaurant helped Barbara celebrate with a candlelit dessert.

We enjoyed a family dinner on Thanksgiving Day at Dennis and Sharon's home on Point Loma, which provides a sweeping view of downtown San Diego.

Daron and his fiancée, Vanessa, were there.
