San Diego

So, I found out last week that mom had a Marriott free night that she needed to use. So on Wednesday, I book a hotel in La Jolla for Friday!! For FREE!!
It was so great!
So after clinic on Friday, Becca and I set off in the Benz convertible down the 15 for a fun school free weekend. It was absolutely gorgeous! We stayed at a Residence in so that we could have a kitchen (what if we wanted some midnight snacks). I spun the wheel and won the grand prize!! Marriott rewards points!! Woot! We went to downtown San Diego, and took pictures by Petco Park. The Padres had a game, but we did not have tickets. We did however, have cupcakes! We strolled through art galleries, and tourist shops. We also got lost for a few minutes, as we didn't have a map and we didn't plan anything. After watching the sunset while on the Coronado Bridge, we headed back to the hotel where we got ice cream, pizza, bread, and cheese.
The pool/spa closed at 10, so we dashed in at 9:50 - and luckily when the towel man came by, he did not kick us out! So we stayed out as late as we wanted. :) How relaxing.
The next morning was a free breakfast where I decided the best thing in the world is granola. Maybe I should move to Portland, make my own granola and ride a fixie. I'm not sure, but right now that sounds good.
We toured the San Diego Mission, the first mission in California. Then drove around San Diego on our way to the beach. It was cooler, but still around 70 when we got to Coronado beach. I read my Kindle, which is absolutely amazing! I am so impressed with it's abilities to be awesome.
Once it got a little chilly, and the fighter jets overhead started to annoy us, we headed home. Nice and rested. :)
What a fun (and free!) weekend.
