We just got back from San Diego over the weekend. We headed out to check out the San Diego City Fest that was going on at Mission Bay Park. Rob works for the non-profit who is organizing the Arizona City Fest here in March, so the staff went down to check out how it'll work. Rob shadowed his counterpart in San Diego and was very busy the whole weekend. Our friend Barry joined us from Canada and me and him tried to make the most out of the weekend and relax!
The first day we were there we explored Torrey Pines State Reserve. The beach was beautiful and as we walked the coastline, we had a couple of dolphin sightings which was really neat. This isnt the season for the whales and dolphins and I would love to come back when it is. All the locals were saying you can watch the whales passing by from some of the look-outs on this beach. We will definitely be making a trip for that. Above is one our our "jumping pictures". Barry, who is an awesome photographer and has a great camera, took most of the jumping pictures on his camera. I have to wait to get pictures from him...this was the only one we captured.
That evening, we checked into the Hilton Resort at Mission Bay. Beautiful hotel. We really enjoyed it. One of the highlights (besides the view and great room) was having breakfast with Barry at the restaurant. We decided "when in Rome, do as the Romans (aka the rich folk) and that is how we came to the conclusion to splurge on a $20.00 breakfast buffet that was anything but disappointing.
Saturday, we checked out San Diego City Fest and walked around enjoying that. That evening, we heard Luis Palau speak and watched the Newsboys and some other Christian artists, pretty fun!
Sunday we found this great local spot for breakfast called "Perry's Cafe". So, so good! We then headed over to SeaWorld. The weather was great and there were no lines for anything, we were able to see 95% of the park. The only parts we didnt check out were the kid areas. SeaWorld has come good shows and the way they have those animals trained is unbelievable.
Sunday night we made the long drive back to Phoenix, not ready to come home! I am hoping to plan another vacation very, very soon...
