7 year Anniversary

It’s been almost two months since San Diego and I’m going through beach withdraws.
Bryan and I celebrated our seven year anniversary in San Diego. We decided to trade planning the trip to winging it for the three days we would spend there. In fact the whole trip we had only two plans. We planned our hotel accommodation and a stop by a Macy’s to pick up a discount pass for all of the participating Museums in the area.

Feb. was Museum month and so we got to partake in all kinds of discounts for every sort of Museum imaginable including some gardens.

We stayed at the Gaslamp Plaza Suites Hotel in the Gaslamp District.


It was phenomenal. The great customer service started before we had ever gotten there when I called to check on my room. The rooms used to be office suites so It was cool to stay somewhere historic and wonder about the history of the building.

It also came with a continental breakfast which in and of it’s self was nothing special but It was served on the roof deck making it very special.

The deck was also great at night. We had a great view!

Sea Port Village resident

We started our trip simply exploring and ended up at the sea port village, which we loved. And ate at a sea food spot out over the water. The shrimp and garlic bread was great but beware of glassless windows and man eating sea gulls.

We spent the rest of the trip using our discount passes, visiting places such as the Museum of Making Music and the Quail Botanical Garden which is now a forerunner in locations for our wedding.



We indulged ourselves in great food but the best by far was the Dakota Grill connected to the Gas Lamp Hotel. I’m a steak kinda girl but I must give the chicken devil his dues and say their chicken was the best chicken I’ve ever tasted. It made any steak I’d ever had taste like a hot dog.
Dinner was great.

The trip was fantastic. Letting go of planing relieved a lot of the stress of a vacation and made it a true get away.
