San Diego Day 8
Another day of sunshine – we woke to cool clouds so I was thinking the worst at first and then it just heated up like it has every day on our trip. A little windy and cooler by the ocean but nothing that bothered us.
It was sad to see Dave and Elisabeth and their girls go home this morning. We’ve been having such a good time and we all get along so great. Carter and Bridget are a perfect match as are Haley and Bronwyn. They got along so well – not one incident or issue. I miss my beer buddy Dave. Dave where are you ? it’s 9:30PM and people are in bed here.
The day started with us having to move to a new room. I was nervous cause with Priceline, you don’t always get what you want, you just a get a good price. Our room has been fine, 2 queen beds, good linen. Our tower was in the far back and we didn’t feel like it was a 3 Star hotel. They cater more to Conventions and big groups more than families I think. We couldn’t stay our next 3 nights in the same room – 2 different reservations so I was hoping we still got 2 queen beds. We lucked out. We got put in a much nicer tower, bigger room, 2 sinks and a balcony overlooking the pool on the 8th floor. We didn’t know that the rooms were so nice outside of our tower. We saw some rooms on the lower floor with chandeliers even. I wish we all had the same rooms when Dave and E. were here. One thing that followed us from one room to another in a different tower was this picture of a young girl. Linda thinks it belongs more in the Haunted Mansion that a hotel room and they have it in every room. Must be the owners daughter or something. Kind of a creepy picture.
We headed out to Seaport Village in San Diego and walked along the seawall and Linda checked out the shops. They have several buskers/entertainers doing shows around the village. We saw a great juggling, comedy gymnastic act and a neat magician while eating our Ben and Jerrys ice Cream. We walked around the outside of the Aircraft Carrier Midway but didn’t take the tour as it was going to cost us at least $38 and Linda and I have already done a Carrier tour in the past. I love downtown San Diego – it’s so nice and clean and just has a good vibe to it. I love Vancouver and they are similar in many ways. No begging bums though like Vancouver.
We then went to Coronado beach across the water. They don’t have a toll on the bridge anymore which is good. I’d love to live on Coronado – would move there in a minute I think. The beach is spectacular and so vast and clean. We drove up on a Saturday and found parking right away. We built sand castles and played in the water and then went back to the hotel to play in the pool.
For dinner we went upscale – we went to Hooters in Mission Bay. I’ve love their chicken wings, what can I say. The kids quickly fell asleep in the car.
Tomorrow is mother’s day and we’ll go out for breakfast and I don’t know what next yet. May Old Town, some rides at Belmont Park at Pacific Beach, maybe walk around Balboa park or hang by the pool. Only 3 more sleeps – I love being on vacation.
