San Diego Day
We spent Friday touring San Diego. We first went to la Jolla which is about 10 miles away – north west of us on the coast. Very nice town – very upscale – very affluent area. Walked around the village a bit and saw the beach cove and some seals hanging out on the rocks and then headed back to the hotel. The adult girls went to the mall which is within walking distance, Dave and the older kids went to the pool and I took the younger ones to Ocean Beach about 10 minutes from the hotel. We had a good time playing in the sand just hanging out in the sun. Afterwards we headed downtown for dinner. We walked around Gaslamp Quarter a bit and ended up at Dick’s last Resort which was a lot of laughs. The place basically has no rules so the kids could do what they want and our waitress made the evening very interactive. At one point she had all 4 kids on the floor of the entrance to the restaurant coloring and working on a big piece of paper. Guests had to walk around them. In the end, they made mother’s day cards for Linda and Elisabeth. The kids had balloon hats and were tearing up the place.
I ate way too much – chicken and ribs and appy’s and a big ass 32oz MGD. I was done. The food was excellent– kind of pricey though. One fun thing they had besides their lack of manners is a machine which you put your money in and it’s a crane like you pick up stuffed animals but instead you pick up lobsters. If you get one, they cook it all up for you with the extras as well. Fun stuff. I’d love to see a Dicks in Vancouver, been to others in Myrtle Beach and Chicago in the past and always have a great time.
On the way back we hit Target for some shopping and had a hassle buying gas. It seems that you have to prepay your gas but when you are filling it up, you don’t know. If you say $50 and you need more – you have to start over and prepay more. Not a great system.
Dave and Elisabeth leave in the morning – we’re going to miss them – it’s bee a faboulus time with them and all the kids get along perfectly – not one squak from any of them. I don’t know what our plan is for Saturday and Sunday – weather is going to get cold so I don’t know what’s in store for us yet.
