Happy Independence Day 2008 from San Diego!
We had a pretty busy day today (even though I did not feel I did, but Erik tells me I am crazy- or at least rolls his eyes in such a manner that I infer this :-P). We headed up to Hob Knob Hill for breakfast (mmmm!). Erik had the corn beef omelette I had spinach and bacon quiche. Very good as usual- we always recommend this place! Then we came back to the hotel got my camera bag and headed off down to Seaport Village area. We decided (or rather Erik, because I am indecisive) to go on a Seal tour. You know the vehicles, the amphibious ones that do the tours. It was actually very nice and we had a lot of cool things pointed out to us. I got to see sea lions, which totally made my day! After the Seal tour, we headed to the USS Midway for a tour. It was hotter than all get-up in the ship so we were only wondering on board for a couple of hours- the flight deck was super hot! After that we caught the trolley back up to Fifth Avenue and had lunch at Fred's Mexican. After lunch we headed back to the hotel for a siesta and then got ready for our night of fireworks. We had purchased tickets for viewing the fireworks from the boats at the Maritime Museum. They had BBQ food and dessert setup on the Berkley Steamboat and we sat out on the front part of the boat and waited for it to get dark and enjoyed an excellent fireworks display. I would say it certainly rivals Washington, D.C.'s. Once the show was completed we worked our way back to the trolley, but that was packed so we headed to the hotel on foot. The rest of the evening will be spent sleeping, in preparation for our trip to Temecula tomorrow. So this concludes our day in the harbor area folks :)
