Nini and I made a quick escape to San Diego yesterday
Just a beautiful city... beautiful. I am amazed at how many things have NOT changed since I was a kid. Mission Bay has perfect picnic spots, and Old Town still has some of greatest dining anywhere. Balboa Park, and the world's best Zoo, the hills and beaches... it's the jewel of southern California. B-)

We went to the Port of San Diego on San Diego Bay, to visit a friend, and enjoyed a fantastic meal through his hospitality. Just a very relaxing day.

If you have never been to San Diego, make an effort to go sometime.

1. Good morning, ZombyWoof!
Sounds like a lovely weekend, indeed. I haven't been to San Diego in years, but one of these days we'll get down there.

Yes, we're lucky to live in CA, aren't we? There are many many jewels here.

:hi:

3. Yup, it's all good.
Just being alive is gift enough, in my book.

Have a lovely morning, my dear.

6. One of my favorite cities!
I'm debating on driving when I visit out west. I might have to drive to SD before coming up LA way.

8. Now that I'm *cough* not working, errr, a poor student again,
I'll have time between sessions of the school I'm in. So, I might take a few days and head out west.

The world survived matcom and I in the same house. So I think the world can handle us in the same room. :D

11. This might sound odd, but I really like Horton Plaza.
I know it's a shopping mall, but at least it's different than all the rest.

12. It is cool
I like that it is pretty much Open air. And some of the shops are interesting. Not all Mall style shops. But I really loved Seaport Village. There was a cigar store there that was AWESOME!!!

14. Everything in San Diego is just cooler than other places

Even those aspects.

You're back in school? Excellent. Guess you will need a break. :bounce:

17. As long as my fundage situation is as I expect, I will.
Heck...even if it's a bit worse than I expect, I'll probably make the trip. :D

20. You're coming back down when I'm in SD Oct 22-25th?
I know you said you'd be out for the weekend but Sunday or Monday night would be ok nights provided I don't stay out too late. I have to take this test seriously and pass it or else I'm in trouble. And it's multiple choice - which I hate. I take the test on Wednesday and then fly home that night

23. Monday, yes
Sunday we won't be back in L.A. until 10ish. So yeah, Monday is good. It is an easy drive, actually. I'd hate to miss the opportunity!

If you're free earlier in the day, that would be even better. I would like you to see Mission Bay and Old Town, for starters. Somehow, something will happen. :-)

25. My Bolts, your Eagles
Oooo! I will try not to gloat too much. ;-)

Just let me know when class is over, so I can time the drive accordingly. It's 2 hours from here, on average.
