June 22-23, 2013 - San Diego, California

I had a couple extra days in California this weekend, after flying back from Atlanta for 2 day work training.  So I decided to rent and car and go visit San Diego for a couple days. I drove down on Saturday morning, checked into my hotel in the Gaslamp district and met up with my mom's best friend Cathy, who drove in from Murietta.  We walked down to the water and had a nice lunch at San Diego Pier Cafe.  We walked around some of the Seaport Village shops, and down the harbor, then decided to drive out to Coronado Island.  The island was insanely crowded on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, but after much driving around we finally found parking at the Hotel Coronado.  We sat out on their huge patio and had a couple drinks and caught up with each other, which was so much fun!  After that Cathy had to get back home, and I just took it easy that night.  

The next day, I went back out to Coronado Island to walk along the beach.  I then drove down to La Jolla on my way back to Los Angeles and saw the sea lions and explored the town for a bit.  It was a short trip, but good to finally see San Diego.
