Not worth your time, but now that you're here...

News

So Cal is where my mind be...

So we had delayed our planned vacation this month since we couldn't decide on a destination...
Sunday, we made the decision to head to San Diego.
We hope to spend 4 days there, and hit everything we can.
It will be the first big trip with Eva, so we'll have some stuff to learn about travelling with a 9 month old.

Anyways, if you have some places we must see that are not already on this City Pass Deal let us know.
Oh yeah, and if you can think of a great Hotel that isn't >$200/night that would be helpful as well.

Our choice was solidified today when we verified that there is, in fact, a Cheescake Factory in San Diego.
1) We first met the CF in Chicago on a family vacation a few years back (alright maybe 8 years).
We returned for the wondrous meals and, of course, dessert on our honeymoon in Chicago (almost 3 years now).
2) We got to visit the CF in Las Vegas a couple years back as well.
3) We had found the CF in Seattle when we went there 2 years ago, and were again delighted.
So, we hope to someday visit all Cheesecake Factories in the world, although I doubt we will acheive that one, but a guy can dream.

San Diego makes #4 of about 80 so you might say we are well on our way!

Lived there for about 3 months. In corranado (think that's how it's spelled). Loved it. I was with my brother who was in the Navy at that time. I actually was able to ride on his aircraft carrier (USS Constellation) from Pearl Harbor to San Diego. Took 10 days. Lot's of fun.

Anyways. Great area. But I can't really speak of any spots since I was a college student so my priorities and interests were very different than they are now. I did goto the Zoo, but I hate Zoo's. Too much of an animal lover.

Anyways, your family should have a really good time.

Don't fly Delta.

I think that is going to be great! As I said to Nina about dreamin - never stop and don't be surprised when you achieve them - if your old mom and dad got to go many places they never thought they would go you are sure to get to many places that we never even dreamed of! For work or play you will go far! See ya soon! MOM

What? You were under the impression that I have many non-family members tracking this site? Seriously... :)
