Saying Goodbye to SD

Our last night in San Diego we went to Little Italy for dinner.

We ate at Filippi's Pizza Grotto. I wanted to avoid the crowds, but I thought eating at 4:15 was a bit early, even for us. We walked around Little Italy a bit and then decided to get in line. Good thing, because the line (which goes through a deli/store in front of the restaurant) was already to the front door. Fortunately, k was fast asleep in her stroller so the wait wasn't too bad.

We ordered a small antipasto salad and a pizza. The pizza was pretty good, but I would not wait in line for an hour like some people do. The crust was a bit too doughy, (and I usually like thicker crusts). Also, the cheese tended to glop up in the middle instead of being evenly spread out.

On the way out I picked up some Italian cookies from the storefrount. We ate some back at the hotel at night, and some for breakfast the next morning!

On Monday we took our time getting ready since we weren't in a rush. (D actually ran on the treadmill on both Sun. and Mon., early in the morning, dedicated runner that he is). We drove to Seaport Village to walk around.

I always like to stop in at the Upstart Crow Bookstore and the Christmas store to look at the ornaments. I didn't buy an ornament this time, but we did buy a wooden whale tootbrush holder from a toystore that k really liked. She didn't want to leave!

Is the merry-go-round still there?

I'm not sure--we didn't see it, but we weren't looking for it, either.
