In another life I was married to a Navy man assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk. We moved to Imperial Beach, CA from Wisconsin...and we were broker than broke!

So I found all the FREE and fun things I could do, as he was either on that ship working, or was on short-term cruises for a few weeks at a time. I DID work, but I still had time to fill if he was away. ;)

I spent a lot of time at Balboa Park, which was FREE for service members and their families. They had a Zoo, AWESOME Museums, BEAUTIFUL gardens...and a Taco Truck that got me hooked on Fish Tacos!

I’m not kidding when I tell you that any ‘couch cushion’ spare change I found, cashed in cans and bottles for recycling, money my Own Dear Mother sent me or even PENNIES found in the STREET went to support my Fish Taco addiction!

And here I am...45 years later, still jonesin’ for Fish Tacos. I’m not PROUD of myself, but it is what it is. ;)
