“And every day her loveliness, shines pure, without a flaw; new charms entrance our every glance, and fill our souls with awe!” -L. Frank Baum (author of the Wizard of Oz), on Coronado
I visited San Diego, California, in August this year, when I drove there with my oldest son as part of our mom-son roadtrip. Now, having visited, briefly, I can say San Diego is beautiful — but my favorite part was getting to see my friend Carrie and tour her beloved Coronado.
Coronado is resort city (island) located in San Diego County, California, across San Diego Bay from downtown San Diego, and is an island connected to the mainland by a tombolo, which they call the Silver Strand.
The Hotel del Coronado is a historic landmark on the island, built in 1888, and is famous for inspiring L. Frank Baum, who wrote The Wizard of Oz at the hotel on Coronado between 1904 – 1910.
I took many photographs, which say far more than words…
