Touring San Diego

When I got up this morning, I put a roast in the crock pot. We were heading for downtown to take a trolley tour.  When we have visited big cities before, we have taken these tours. I think it’s a great way to see the sites.You can just drive the two hour tour around the city, or get on and off whenever you want..

We headed to Old Town San Diego, where there  is free parking and the tours starts here..

Quaint little shops..

Awwwww, you're making me homesick!! Guess I gotta go back. It's always so nice to see your own city through the eyes of a tourist.

Looks like you guys are having a great time! Do go back and see the inside of the Hotel Coronado, it is beautiful. We were there a few years ago and sat outside on the patio with cold drinks and enjoyed live entertainment and beautiful views.
