San Diego
So we got to San Diego safely after a really easy drive from Vegas. The room at the Westin in the Gaslamp Quarter is gorgeous, you can buy the bed sheets for $3000!!! The room and hotel is fantastic, but $3000 for sheets, wow!
Ater we settled in we took a little stroll down to 5th Avenue, food and resturant central. We were starving but stopped off at the Gaslamp Tavern for a drink, after Vix had drunk a glass of Calafornian Zinfandel and 2 Cantaloupe Martinis, we (or should that be Vix) staggered to a gorgeous italian restaurant, steak and pasta is really the way forward!!! Another glass of wine it was time for me to get a very tired (drunk) Vix to bed.
On Saturday we walked all over San Diego, starting in Little Italy to see the farmers market then down to the Harbour to see the Navy Aircraft carriers and the fish market, where we stopped for freshly caught fish lunch. We then wondered round the bay and had a little snooze in the park, whilst the kids of San Diego flew kites above us. Back to 5th Avenue for more food and more cantaloupe martinis.
Today we drove to Ocean Beach, it was a little overcast but still really nice to sit on the beach. It is the 4th of July and the beach was packed, with families with BBQ's setting up for the day and night, waiting for the fireworks tonight at 9pm. The surfers were out in force and there were some fantastic waves over 6ft, shame my ankle is sore or I would have had a go, it looked so good.
Just back to the hotel getting ready for our own firework display tonight, apparently there will be 300,000 people out tonight, I imagine the atmosphere will be fantastic all along the harbour, will post the pictures tomorrow.
HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!

Scott Can't believe your fitting in so much. It sounds excellent. You must be knackered though.
