So Thursday and Friday during the day, Charlotte and I hung out at the hotel and walked around the Gaslamp Quarter near the harbor. It's a very pedestrian-friendly city and Charlotte behaved herself very nicely!
Thursday night we all went on a free dinner cruise sponsored by an immigration software company that Shane's organization uses. Quite fun, although I didn't venture outside because it was alot colder weather than I expected and Charlotte decided to stay up and party. I also was quite enjoying the food since I have recently been released of dietary restrictions (might write a blog posting about that later at some point).
Friday night we went out to eat with Shane's former law professor, Lauris Wren. She quite enjoyed meeting Charlotte who would not keep still all throughout dinner (as you can see from the blur that is Charlotte).
Saturday Shane got out earlier and we had lunch at Seaport Village, a collection of shops and restaurants alongside the harbor. It was beautiful weather (still somewhat cool to explain Charlotte's getup in the pictures) and fun to walk around there. I got a San Diego Christmas ornament to commemorate the trip - I like doing that on vacations.
We also went to Balboa Park and walked around the gardens there. We skipped the zoo, since it was $40 per person (yikes) and our realtor said that the Omaha zoo was just as nice. Not sure how true that is, since she's a native Nebraskan, but it was another good reason to skip it:).
On a side note, she was very interested in her hat straps during our visit to the park as you will see in this video:).
That night we went to a Mexican restaurant - yummy - and then crashed at the hotel and watched HGTV. All in all, a great vacation!
