I spent this weekend in San Diego with my boy. A belated gift to us since our bdays were in August and only two days apart. So it was finally to take a little vacation to celebrate! On Saturday, our first stop in San Diego was the Gaslamp quarter... but we stopped to eat first before going to the Seaport Village. We ate at a place called, Cafe 21. After eating we walked all the way to the Seaport Village. I think it took us about 15-20 minutes to get there but it was a nice walk with pleasant weather. There were so many shops to explore! We went into many of the stores but there wasn't any items that stood out as amazing... just regular items... with boring written all over. Haha. It was still nice exploring what the store had. We did end up getting some Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream in which we enjoyed eating sitting on a cow bench =D
We walked back to the car, left and went out to the hotel where we would be staying the night. We relaxed for a bit before going out that night. David made reservations to eat at a The Oceanaire Seafood Restaurant in the Gaslamp Quarter. We left after it was 8:30pm. But before arriving at our location, we had to park a bit away and walk yet again to our destination. It doesn't sound so bad, but this time I was all dressed up and wearing heels. David had no other choice but to follow my pace, which was slow. My dinner that night was to die for. I got a jerk tuna with plantains and mango... ahh so good =) I have never had anything that tasted so good. Dave told me to slow down and savor the food... I did for a little but, but then my meal was gone. It was pretty expensive but I would say worth it =P Dave had a crabcake which he said was the best he's ever had! So yay for that. After a nice night out, we headed back to the hotel to relax for the night.
On Sunday, we had a complimentary breakfast at the hotel. There was so much to choose from! I had eggs, fries, a bagel with cream cheese, hot chocolate and I got a yogurt and two apples to eat for later. After breakfast we got ready, checked out of the hotel and left for Balboa Park. When we got to Balboa Park we managed to park in a good spot. We walked to the information place and got a day pass to get into 5 museums for a low price. We managed to see 4 of them, the air and space museum, natural history museum, museum of Art and the Science Center. All were fun to see and explore. The last one we went into was the Natural History Museum in which Dave got both of us shot glasses. That was pretty much our day... but before we decided to leave San Diego, we needed food! We ended up eating at a Salvadorian place where we got pupusas that were really yummy. Of course we had to get some horchata and a strawberry shake to go with out meal. Yummies!
We left about 6:30 pm and I ended up taking a small nap along the way. This weekend was really fun =) and I hope my boy and me have many more awesome weekends ahead of us.
