San Diego--Part One

Kate & I headed to San Diego on Friday, April 29th (the day of the Royal Wedding!) and met my mom there. We had an early flight (5:40 am), but it was nice that then we got to San Diego by 10:45. We stayed at the Gaslamp Plaza Suites in the Gaslamp district, and it was so nice! Our room was almost like a suite; it had a separate living area and a little "kitchen" with a refrigerator, sink and cabinets. The elevators had all the original marble, etc. from the 1930s or thereabouts, and the street was lined with some fantastic sounding restaurants! We went to the Spaghetti Factory for lunch, since it was only about seven blocks away, and we love their food and seeing the architecture of the different locations.

We then walked around the city a bit more and got some souvenirs and postcards, and then for dinner we went to the Melting Pot, which was right in our hotel.

Kate got a balloon at the Melting Pot, and she was so excited. When we got back to the hotel, she just kept marching around with it and laughing. Then, the next night when we walked to dinner, she kept pointing out balloons everywhere we went!
