travel united states california san diego cabrillo national monument
At the end of Point Loma, the penninsula that encloses San Diego Harbor, is Cabrillo National Monument.
My parents used to love visiting this area and I remember them taking me there early in my life.
Within the "park" is a information center, a lighthouse, tide pools, coastal artillary bunkers, and the huge Rosecrans National Cemetery.
My cousin and his wife were interred here after a lifetime career in the Navy.
There are beautiful panoramic views of the coastline from La Jolla to Mexico...
