You might remember that we were gone last week on vacation. Who knew San Diego could get so hot? Our plan was to leave the valley's heat and chill out on California's coast. Nope. The whole week was in the upper 70s with 79% humidity. Even so, we had a great time.  Gaslamp Quarter  Hubby. Little Italy.  Soooo many sangrias. And wine.  The USS Midway turned out to be super interesting.  Padres vs. the Mets - Our seats ended up being field level. I had to pay attention every second to avoid getting hit with a foul ball!  Strolling along the beach on Coronado Island.  We had drinks at the famous Coronado hotel. The bill? $30 for 2 drinks (before the tip!).  One of Chemaine's students was selected to complete two designs for the Breeders' Cup horses. I stumbled on this one!  Cool, huh?!  At Del Mar racetrack. I bet on the 6 horse.  At the end of the race, there was an inquiry. The six horse was deemed a "non-starter," and I got my money back. First time I've seen that. If you ever visit California, I'd recommend a stay in San Diego. While I was there one time while in college, I stayed with a friend and didn't really see much besides La Jolla. This time I was there as a "tourist," and I was delighted with the city. It was clean, pedestrian friendly, and quite charming. The restaurants were amazing, and there was no end of things to do. I am not surprised though; California's just a great state!
