Last weekend T and I went to San Diego. The Spoil Rottens came up and enjoyed the company of Z and A. We didn't do the relaxation thing very well but we filled the trip with fun and food. It was really nice to get away. We stayed in Little Italy at a "boutique" hotel. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be but they had this woman on the wall of our bedroom staring at us while we slept.
Upon arrival we set out to discover the town. SD has a rail system so we bought passes and went to the Gaslamp District. We walked around and purchased a shirt for T. We found a Ghirardelli Ice cream shop. We ate that.
Then we walked around some more.
We walked down to a pier to eat at a fancy fish place on the waterfront. There was a park and some big boats. One of them was the Midway which in a brilliant turn of Americanism is now a cafe and tourist attraction.
I had to.
We ate at the fancy fish place. I had proscuitto and scallop skewers, and T had red snapper something. It was delicious. Afterward they were retiring a flag on a ship so sailors and women got all dressed up and saluted something that we could really figure out. (I'm guessing about the flag thing)
We then walked back to the Train and took that to the hotel then drove to old town for a ghost tour. This guy claimed that he had all these "experiences" and he would take us around and tell us about all of the haunted stuff, graveyards, hangings etc. First we tooled around the shops until it was time to hunt some ghouls.
We set out on our adventure. The primary stops were the Whaley House Where people were hung by the hundreds and a graveyard that the City of San Diego paved over 1/2 of it. Here is a picture of our Tour Guide, an official Ghost Hunter. He is telling us about a vortex near the Whaley house were spirits cross over to our side. He looks possessed, I got all the proof i need.
T sees a ghost!!!
At the end he showed us his collected evidence. It was a ball of light, some "orbs" and a bunch of muffled sounds. We were terrified by that point.
Did I say terrified? I meant Tired.
The next morning we woked up and had brunch then drove home. It was a really fun trip.
Till next time (A's 1st B-day)

That looks so fun! You packed a lot in. The picture on the wall in your hotel is kind of strange. And I'm glad you got your fish food fix. And I can't believe you looked up her skirt!
I've always wanted to do a ghost tour. Guess it wasn't that scary.
That looks fun. I like San Diego.
I'm glad you could get away to celebrate your anniversary. You and T. are looking happy and tan. How did the Grovers survive?
I am anxiously awaiting the Little A Turns One" photos!! or are you waiting for this weekend's birthday event, too?
