Had a Whale of a Time!

I guess I should go back and post about the first days. So arrived in San Diego on Thursday and we (Megan, Megan's mom and I) went Whale Watching. I was so excited to do this as I had never done this. Now the whales we would see would be grey whales and yes we did see some. Mostly we saw blows, their backs and then their flukes but it was such a great experience.

From there we went to dinner in Old Town. Had a wonderful dinner in a Mexican restaurant, Fandango. Had Shrimp Consuelo. It's shrimp with crab meat and cheese wrapped in bacon.. Yummy. I sent two of them home with Megan's mom. Would love to make those at home..

Day 2 we went to the San Diego Zoo. I thank my friend Donna for the tickets. What a wonderful zoo. We saw the baby panda bear, so adorable. Had to go through the line twice as the first time the little one was asleep on the hammock and was more difficult to see. The polar bears exhibit was closed and due to reopen the end of March.

This night we went to the House of Blues. JR from Dishwalla was doing a solo show and Trace was going to be there as well playing guitar for JR. I messaged Trace so he knew we would be there. Unfortunately HOB rules are screwy and I wasn't allowed to photograph the show but oh well. Show was fun and it was great to see both Trace and JR.
