Day Three

Day 3 started out my favorite way - LATE! We decided to sleep in and take our time to get out and go sightseeing. Way back in March I had bought a Frommer's San Diego guide and we've been flipping through it since then. One of the things we wanted to see was the beaches in La Jolla because we've heard they were pretty nice. In the guide, there was a particular beach in La Jolla called Children's Pool that was supposed to have quite a few sea lions just hanging around, so we decided to try to find that. Well, we didn't. The map in the guide wasn't very helpful because it only had a few streets on it and frankly, Tabitha was no help either. We did find a beach and went to put our feet in, but it was chilly and overcast, so not the best beach weather. So we decided to head to Torrey Pines State Park to check that out.

Torrey Pines State Park was this park on the beach where these very rare pine trees grow. They have 8 miles of trails and a beach. We decided to do one of the easy hikes because we both were wearing our flip flops. It was fun to take some pictures and to see the odd little pine trees. We didn't end up going to the beach because we decided we wanted to try to see a movie and we both wanted to get back to the hotel to clean up if we could.

We ended up deciding on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Oh geez. We ultimately both enjoyed the movie because it was an Indiana Jones movie, but man, was that story a bad one! We did have some delicious popcorn to tide us over until dinner! Because of the timing with the movie, I wasn't able to shower before the movie, so we walked back to the hotel so I could get ready.

Once I was ready, we headed down to our free cocktail hour at Embassy Suites! It was a little disappointing because the wine they had was really pretty bad, but hey, they were free glasses! After that, we headed to Little Italy, which was again within walking distance. We had dinner at this delicious Italian restaurant called Filippi's. I've been there with Joy before when she lived in San Diego, so I wanted to bring Mat there to try it out! If you are ever in San Diego, you have to check it out.
