We go to Coronado—a lot. We all love it there. We especially love that we can descend on Gramma and Grampa at their home on Antigua in the Coronado Cays where the boats are right out back and the beach is a 15 minute walk across the peninsula, under the bridge where you measure yourself. [...]

We spend every Fourth of July in Coronado celebrating in our own traditional way as a family: the parade, boating, surfing and fireworks. This year was no different. It was a good old fashioned American Fourth for the Riddles and Newmans. Kristianne Koch Photography Kristianne Koch specializes in artistic portrait photography of families, children and [...]

We finally had a respite from illness in the second day of our long weekend. Everyone was already on the mend when we left town but Maliea was still fighting something. It reared it’s head on Saturday when her breakfast came back up and then again on Sunday with severe stomach cramps and gas. Poor [...]

The lovely Peterson family came out from Pennsylvania to spend two busy weeks in Coronado. I joined them on the second to last day of their annual vacation and their three beautiful girls age 1, 3 and 5 were close to being worn out. Regardless, we spent two hours together on a fabulous day in [...]

Ron Burgundy: You stay classy, San Diego. I’m Ron Burgundy? Ed Harken: Dammit. Who typed a question mark on the Teleprompter? I can’t believe I haven’t posted these yet. They are from our trip to Coronado and surrounds. Whenever it rains while we are visiting, we end up doing something really fun that is not [...]

We spent another gorgeous weekend in Coronado. Upon arrival we boarded the SV Pelican to go out in the bay for the annual New Year’s Day boat blessing ceremony coordinated by the Coronado Yacht Club. Boats circled Glorietta Bay until the Commodore headed out toward the Big Blue Bridge and boats fell in line behind. [...]

Once again we spent Labor Day weekend in Coronado. It never does get old. It just keeps getting better with the kids getting more into the ocean and ways to enjoy it. I am so glad we are focused as a family on water activities. It makes so much sense to stay close to home [...]

The first morning we were in Coronado, Merrik, Maliea and I went to breakfast with Gramma (Debbie) Riddle in Imperial Beach. IB is the western and southern most city in the US. It is still “Classic California” with it’s funky buildings, surf shops and uncrowded beaches. We dined with some friends of Debbie’s at El [...]

Fourth of July weekend in Coronado is a family tradition for the Riddles. Ever since I have known Jim we have been going to Coronado for the long weekend and now we actually enjoy the famous parade down Orange Avenue because of the kids. And even though we have the most amazing backyard for viewing [...]

After Camp Gramma Grampa, we all hung out at their house in Coronado for some additional family fun. Jim’s brother, Steve, who left us unexpectedly two years ago has two amazing kids, Holley and Cameron. They were the stars of the show because we were all so excited to have them come from Portland for [...]

![[life] camp gramma grampa----closing day](http://kristiannekochphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/20090627family_209campgmagpa_collage.jpg)
The experience was a memorable one for all and everyone—-especially the parents—-are looking forward to next year. How Gramma Grampa feel about doing it again is unknown. I personally don’t know how they managed to persevere through directing, correcting, tracking and teaching 6 kids under 13 for almost a week. It all started when they [...]

Maliea and I arrived at Camp Gramma Grampa on day two after the activities were in full swing. We made it just in time to watch the water capers and s’more pig out. Merrik barely noticed my presence. It was fun to be like a fly on the wall to watch him in the middle [...]
little escape
Merrik was invited to his girlfriend’s birthday party on Sunday in Coronado so I took Merrik and Maliea down for the day. Jim decided to stay home and recover from his long days of shooting the Weinersnitzel spot in LA. It worked out great because I got to escape and do a consulting session. I [...]

thought: beach and bay
We had a fabulous weekend in Coronado. It all started Friday afternoon when Merrik, Maliea and I took the Amtrak out of San Juan Capistrano. We rode the 5:23pm train and it was standing room only! Unbelievable. I’ve never seen so many people having so much fun trying to get to their destination. No traffic, [...]
thought gap: phew
I’m coming up for air finally. I had a photo session in Coronado last Friday, then we all headed to Thousand Oaks for Jim’s swim meet Sat and Sun and yesterday Grandma Hallie came to visit after swimming lessons. So, here are a few of the previews from the session with the Kuebler family: the [...]
