San Diego 6-26-08

After 3 days and 2 nights in Las Vegas (with our kids' inheritance reduced by $400), it was on to San Diego. Today, we went to the Torrey Pines State Preserve with a side trip to the Torrey Pines Golf Course. The Preserve has some relatively easy hiking trails (although one was a bit difficult), beautiful views of the Pacific, a wide variety of trees and plants, interesting gorges and great colors. Here's the link to our pictures:

We did a quick tour of Torrey Pines Golf Course, the site of the 2008 US Open. It's obviously a beautiful course. However, the corporate tents and the stands from the Open were still up. There were workers all over the course scrambling to take everything down while dodging errant golf shots.

We also walked around Old Town. While there were some interesting small buildings and museums, it was a bit too commercialized for me. That said, we had a great Mexican dinner and 2-for-1 root beer floats.

Hmmm ... I wonder what we'll do tomorrow. Oh yeah .. the Padres game.
