San Diego in Two Hours

Yesterday I had so much fun enjoying the San Diego sunshine and scenery within a two hour timeframe!

In late morning we drove down to Liberty Station at Point Loma for a run.  This was our starting point.

I ran along Harbor Drive and saw boats at the marina.

These old pink Nikes have 260 miles on them now…

I ran by the airport.

I ran by the Gator By The Bay zydeco festival.

And lots of food.

I stretched midway through my run.

More great scenery on the way back.

I ended up running a little over 4 miles.  Todd had already changed and was waiting for me at the Asian Cultural Festival at Liberty Station. I totally didn't realize that he brought this shirt to change into after running yesterday. At the Asian Cultural Festival. Yea. Can't bring him anywhere! :p

Lots of booths at the festival, but we wanted some seafood!

So we headed down the street to Point Loma Seafoods, our favorite seafood restaurant in San Diego. Upon arriving, we realized that the re-construction had finished and they had moved into their beautiful bigger building!

There is now a second story deck with seating.

With views like this.

In this photo you can see downtown in the distance.

The inside where you order your food, and where you purchase fresh seafood to take home.

We both had the fresh halibut sandwich because it is SO good it’s hard to resist.  But I ate it without the bread.

One happy camper after eating!

This is my favorite intersection on Harbor Drive, with a view of downtown.

So we saw a lot of scenic San Diego in two hours. :)

In the evening, we went to Chile Peppers with our friends Anne and Gilbert.  They had given Todd a certificate for a Chile Peppers meal on his birthday, and we finally got around to redeeming it.

Dinner with friends is about the best thing in the world.

  1. My favorite long run spot! Everytime I run by the harbor I think about what a wonderful place San Diego is to live :)

  2. I love that t-shirt of Todd's. You both are really funny! (And I mean that in a good way.) Holy cow does Point Loma look different. I didn't make it there this Spring when I was there. Love there food though. Looks like you had a really great day!

  3. That's a beautiful run indeed.

    Todd's smile is just the cutest. ;)

  4. I lived somewhere with stunning views & year round fabulous weather, I might be inclined to take up running ... but seeing as I live in a rain soaked part of England, I'll just have to live vicariously through you / your photos! BTW ... LOVE Todd's t-shirt!!!

  5. I'm going to see if I can convince Tate to take me to point Lima seafood tomorrow after sea world. I hope he goes for it because I love seafood and if you say this is the best seafood in sd then I'm there.
