One Year in San Diego, Day 301: Old Town

Disclaimer: Yes, we have done a TON of things in the area since I last posted our 365 days in San Diego theme. Yes I DID just sit on the calendar and count how many days since we moved here. 

We're almost done here, folks. If our potential move date of June 15th holds out, we will be out of here in 67 days. Which means our grand total days in San Diego will be 370.

That was quick, wasn't it?

We've exhausted most of our bucket list for this city already. And luckily, moving just 9 hours up the coast, we will be within reach to return to San Diego to vacation (which we intend on most summers) and hit whatever we've missed. My opinion on San Diego is, it's a tremendous city to vacation to, just not the best to raise kids. At least in the area I live in.

Monday was Brad's last day here before the final deployment to Alameda to decommission the ship. So we turned it into a family day and spent the good majority of the day in Old Town San Diego, taking only an hour intermission to go pick up Calen from school and return. If you visit San Diego, check out Old Town. It's the first U.S. settlement in California, and it's been recreated (most of the old buildings are long lost from a fire in the 1870s) to remain as it's original old Mexi-Cali mission village. Super cool place to explore and learn some history too. And then go to Cafe Coyote for a good Mexican dinner and be sure to hit up the old lady outside who makes you a pile of warm homemade tortillas and butter to take home for $2.
