Becky and I went away this past weekend though we didn’t go far. Like our last trip which was in our old haunts of Cardiff-by-the-Sea, we decided to stay in downtown San Diego. Specifically, The Westgate Hotel.

Not only did we stay in a hotel in a town we’ve effectively lived in our whole lives, we then proceded to do many of the standard “touristy” things common for the area:

• We went to Historic Old Town
• We walked around Horton Plaza
• We had drinks at the Beach bar at the W Hotel (interesting, but the hotel is pretty pretentious)
• Walked on the beach (Silver Strand)
• Saw Amadeus at the Lamb’s Players Theatre in Coronado (really well done and David Cochran Heath gave a stellar performance as Salieri)
• Had breakfast at The Living Room (SDSU location)
• Walked around Belmont Park and had lunch at Canes
• Went to a house party hosted by my manager
• Enjoyed a pedicab trour of downtown
• Walked on the beach (Cardiff-by-the-Sea)
• Had lunch at our favorite Mexican restauraunt

It really was an enjoyable time and the best part, of course, was that I spent it with my wife.
