We spent most of yesterday laying on the beach, so not much interesting to report. Although the beach we went to was home to the longest concrete pier on the west coast, which provided for a nice walk and some pretty views.

| What a long pier! |
We also went to happy hour at a place on harbor island, which has great views of the city and the bay and made us feel very classy.

| You can see Ben, but not the view. |

We had heard lots of people talking about "Old Town" San Diego, so we decided to go there today. We thought it would be like Old City in Philadelphia - the older part of town, lots of cool old buildings, restaurants, shopping, and so on. It turns out that "old" in this case meant something closer to Colonial Williamsburg. But we did end up learning a lot about wagons!
 |
| The latest transportation technology! |
|
 |
| The happening center of town! |
|
 |
| Did you know Studebaker initially made wagons? |
We spent our last few hours in San Diego wandering around the actual downtown area, marveling at all the weirdness of Southern California.
 |
| They have outdoor shopping malls here! |
 |
Is there a Ralph's around here?
|
|
 |
Just because we're bereaved
doesn't make us saps! |
|
 |
| You can buy individual cups of wine at the grocery store! |

 |
| My people are in town |

It was a great end to our California summer, but we are excited to go back to Philadelphia tonight. Best of all, we have the rest of the week off, so five more glorious days of staycationing in our beloved home city!
