San Diego Trip: Day One
Last weekend was definitely very special to us. We had a 3-day trip to San Diego and it was a blast. Perfect weather, beautiful scenery, delicious foods, great place to stay, and many surprises and favors. I am going to recap this memorable trip and share with you all.
Hello San Diego!
We got to SD in the late afternoon and we stayed in downtown area next to the Seaport Village. This is the lovely view from the hotel room, half city and half harbor. I could just sit there and enjoy the view both in the morning and at night. 
There is a historic Gaslamp Quarter nearby, about 10-min walking distance from the hotel. It's a street with lots of restaurants and shops. 
We had our dinner at Lou & Mickey's. We had clam chowder, crab cake, BBQ shrimps, and egg fettuccine with chicken. Their foods are excellent.
After dinner, we walked around the shops and headed toward the direction to a dessert place where we'd been looking forward to before the dinner. We looked at the map thinking it'd be easy to get there. From the crowded Gaslamp, we walked and walked...and we made a turn. As we continued to walk, we then realized that no one was on the same street except us! The street was dark and quiet, and we were passing by the courthouse, bail bonds offices, and other big buildings. It was actually farther than we thought. Finally, we made it to our final stop, "Extraordinary Desserts." 
If you browse its website, you'd probably drool. Everything looks so creative and irresistible. There was a wait when we got there. We had a hard time deciding on what to eat. We then ordered two drinks and one "Danish Parisienne Guava." We were a little disappointed; their drinks and dessert were not as good as we expected. 
We took out our map and decided to go back from the same street since it's the fastest way to go straight back to the hotel. We walked as fast as possible and on the way back we even saw homeless in sleeping bags on the street. We were getting more and more anxious about our safety. Will was picking up his walking speed and I felt like I was flying, trying to catch up his big and fast steps. Man, my feet got painful and we were all sweating. I don't know how many miles we'd walked that night...When we got back to the hotel, we were totally tired...exhausted. My shoes had given me blisters on both of my feet! errrr...
I loved the view from our window, so pretty. What an adventurous night.
