We have loved visiting San Diego for years. When Cullen and I were looking for a quick mother/son trip it was an easy decision to go to San Diego to catch some baseball and eat lots of great food. We went to three games over four days!
When looking for a hotel near Petco Park we lucked out and got a great deal at
Omni San Diego. When i told the front desk that we were celebrating Cullen's 18th birthday, they gave us a great room with a stunning view right into the ballpark! You couldn't ask for a better place to stay when you are in San Diego. Everyone i encountered at the front desk went out of their way to help me with a smile. They even sent up some of the hotel's signature cheesecake as a birthday treat. We ate breakfast at the hotel every morning and Cullen became quite addicted to their french toast. The rooftop pool was a great place to end each day with it's large pool and hot tub and sweeping view of the bay.
Any time we go to San Diego we try to get over to Coronado Island. We took an Uber over the bridge to the Hotel Del Coronado. After walking along the boardwalk and shopping along Orange Ave. we walked the length of the island back to the ferry dock for a ride back.
Being an aspiring chef, Cullen loves to watch cooking videos on YouTube. One of his favorites is Sam from
Sam the Cooking Guy. We went to Little Italy to get dinner at his restaurant, Not Not Tacos and Cullen was lucky enough to get to meet Sam who was there to do a cooking demo. His tacos were great!
The food at Petco Park deserves it's own post! Since we went to three games, we had plenty of opportunities to sample all they had to offer. From nachos to bao buns - an epic acai bowl and even a vast wine offering.
We wrapped up our trip with a trip to our favorite, the San Diego Zoo. Since the last time we had visited the pandas have left, but it's still a great way to spend a day.
We had a great trip!
