After Sea World on Monday we spent the night at my parents time share in down town San Diego. We grabbed some dinner at Chipotle and some milk and a treat at the Whole Foods across the street and then conked out early from our busy day!
But the next morning we were ready to explore! Mike and I consider ourselves foodies (meaning if we are travelling somewhere, we have to find out what food/restaurant the is place is famous for and check it out!) So Mike found this little breakfast place called Cafe 222 that was recently featured on the Food Network for their Peanut Butter Banana French Toast! Since it was a Tuesday, the wait was only about 15 minutes instead of the hour+ the reviews warned us about. And it smelled amazing, so we knew we couldn't go wrong.
Our eyes were a little bigger than our stomachs because everything on the menu looked so good, so we might have order four entrees between the three of us (and one of us is two!). But here is the Peanut Butter Banana French Toast (delicious!), Mike also ordered a Mexican egg scramble, I had the best pumpkin waffle with eggs and bacon, and Wes had the "Mickey Mouse pancake" (though I think it looked much more like a bear).
We were sufficiently stuffed but enjoyed every bite!
Next we headed to PetCo Park where the Padres play. Mike and I used to go to lots of baseball games before Wes came along, and checking out this ballpark made us miss those days! But we're really looking forward to taking Wes to some games next season and we'll definitely have to come down here, because it seems super family friendly!
Bleacher seats! One of the workers there told us these seats are just $10 plus there is a large sand area in front that they only allow children to play in during the games.
After we checked out of the time share, we drove down to the Hotel del Coronado.
After watching him climb the stairs and taking a few pictures, I read that little white sign that said "Only registered hotel guests beyond this point." Oops :) But what a beautiful day it was and we had such a nice mini vacation! Now back home to construction!
That looks like the trip we made! Oh except for some strange reason the Padres game was sold out in the bleacher seats and we had to sit in the nosebleeds for $14.50! The bleachers with the sand area looked SOOOOO fun!
