There were great discoveries we made on this trip.  I love it, because she lives there and knows all the great places and then we stumble upon something so great that neither of us knew about.  It makes it like a vacation for both of us and that's fun.

My best friend moved to San Diego over a year ago, so I make trips down to see her on occassion.  Our trips really just end up being eating our way through all of San Diego.  But we have also found some great hikes, walks and of course EATS.

Well we leave in just a few days, so I have continued to look around for more activties besides the Toxic Audio.  And in my browsing I found this website Pioneer Center for Performing Arts.  There I found a Hypnostist that will be performing while we will be in town.  There is also a calendar of events so you can see all the other things that will be happening now and in the months to come.  You can even purchase tickets right online.

We were greeted at the El Cid with drinks, which was nice and the kids could not believe.  From that moment on they decided they wanted to stay forever.

Our room was fine.  There are pictures on the web that make it look much more luxurious that it really was.  But it was fine for us.  We chose the most inexpensive room you could purchase and we were very pleased.  We had a view out of our room that was spectacular.

We have only been to Ohio to visit Cedar Point. But this time we decided to fly out of Cincinnati and hit Kings Island for a day or so. So that meant a 4 hour road trip right through the middle of Ohio. We had opened up Cedar Point that day, done a few rides, then hit the road. So as we drove we were looking for a place for lunch. Do I need to say it again…we wanted good food and the search began. We ended up in a town called Bucyrus, and they were having Hobo Days. It was quite fun with a few vendors on the streets. What stopped us was a coffee shop, since sandwiches are a hit at our house this seemed like the perfect place. Plus we are from the NW and we do like our coffee, so had to test it out.

Food. That always becomes the source of concern when we travel. We don't like fast food, deep fried food or just plain unhealthy food, so we have to search, and search we do. Before I left I had spent time on the web trying to find some really good places for us. We don't normally like chain restaurants because they lack good quality taste and they lack nutrition. The first day we were having such a good time in the park we decided to try something just outside the gates and hopefully not too heavy. Heavy never works when you are riding rides all day long. We ended up at Famous Daves, which we didn't know at the time was a chain restaurant. I ordered a salad, which wasn't bad, it was all ice berg lettuce (see I'm even a salad snob) and it had a BBQ dressing on it that I was not real fond of. But since it was a BBQ restaurant that is what they had. Everyone else got hamburgers and fries. The Hamburgers were greasy and the BBQ sauce was real thick. I don't think anyone finished their meals. The kids each got pops and we had water. The meal cost us $48.00. It was a huge disappointment.
