The Fantastic Hotel Del Coronado, fondly called "The Del", was built in 1888 and is said to be haunted! But here, my JumpingDaughter had a great time playing with the sand on July 4th weekend 2011....a newly wed couple in the background....
We decided to drive over to see the Coronado Hotel on July 4th weekend of 2011...and the drive was a pleasant one since you go over this curving bridge which offers a great view of the city of San Diego.
Coronado is a great place to visit, but the problem is parking during busy weekends or holidays. The hotel has limited parking for guests only, but there is a small private parking just before it which can easily fill up. After about 30 minutes looking around, we got lucky and got to park at a meter parking space in front of the hotel (no charges during Sundays and holidays).
The Hotel itself is spectacular and you could have seen already old pictures of this classic hotel from the year 1888. The interior has nice wood with an elegant chandelier in the lobby. The pool is wonderful and if you go out to the beach, you will have an awesome vanatage point from which to take pics of the hotel.
There is also a ferry which can bring you to the hotel from downtown, but I have not tried that yet. So far, the most convenient for us is driving to this picturesque area.

Hi Norman, nice intro page! We also visited The Del for a day when our children were young, so I can really appreciate how cute the picture of your daughter on the beach is!
