There were gorgeous views of the Coronado Bridge, Petco Park, the Convention Center and many of the beautiful high rises that make up the skyline.
We spent the evening having a delicious dinner at Chianti Restaurant on 5th Avenue. It was probably the best Italian food we have ever eaten. It was nice to sit on the outdoor patio and enjoy all of the festivities of a Friday night in the Gaslamp Quarter. Then we were lucky enought to get seats outside at The Field. It is a great Irish Pub just a few blocks down. I think we actually sat right next to Carlee from American Idol a few seasons back! We were also able to see some of the fireworks from the Padres game.
As we headed back, we spotted this pretty sign of our hotel. It was so nice to not have to worry about driving home that late and we were able to enjoy a little getaway together. It was an early morning though to make it back for soccer games. Thank you to Matt for a thoughtful birthday surprise!
