.. may not be the best place to stay with kids. Well, that's not rue. The kids and Rodney slept fine. I was the one who couldn't sleep with the police sirens and bullhorn at 3 a.m. But, nonetheless, we stayed at the Ramada Inn and Suites in the Gaslamp District, which is the home of the fastest twin elevators that people come from all over to see. At least that was the case when they were constructed in 1917. At dinner time, we took a quick walk around the block to make sure we wanted to eat at the Brians' Restaurant ajoined to our hotel. During our walk we saw a classic car indoor showfloor and stopped. I fell in love with a fabulous 1976 British racing green Jaguar, which was in mint condition. It had a sun roof, leather seats and was clearly a classic beauty. Too bad I didn't have %12,500 to spare. Will was unusally interested in the cars - even comparing one 1965 Mustang to "his" (Grandma Nancy's) 1967 Mustang.
Dinner tasted great and we listen to a live singer who was pretty good. Will and Xan both had the spirit to dance and clap, but both boys were just exhausted from their big day, and did not protest when it was time to tip the musician and go up to bed.
The next morning, Will and I wrote to the family in Illinois to tell them about our day at Sea World. We droveovee to Coronado Island and had breakfast at a diner. We got home from our mini-vacation around 1 p.m. and still has 2 1/2 more days of the holiday weekend to enjoy!
