This is my third time staying at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in downtown San Diego. It's a beautiful hotel located right next to Seaport Village 
and within walking distance of the Historic Gaslamp District.
During my last visit, I played hooky and took a tour of the USS Midway, the retired Navy aircraft carrier you see in the background of the picture. If you're ever in San Diego, you'll want to check it out. You can see dozens of aircraft, including the F-18 (from Top Gun), and you learn how these crafts depart and land.
I Found Another Ghiradelli's
In my post for Days 5 and 6, I lamented the fact that Henriet and I were unable to indulge at Ghiradelli's Ice Cream Shoppe in Old Town Pasadena because it was no longer in business. Well, on Sunday, I spotted another Ghiradelli's in the Historic Gaslamp District - and last night, I had a Warm Brownie Sundae for dinner. All is well.
Seaport Village Rocks
I don't remember how many years ago I visited Seaport Village for the first time, but it has 
remained one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in San Diego. I never get bored hanging out there.
Last night, this guy was drawing a crowd by balancing rocks on rocks. I took this picture with my camera phone (click to enlarge it). If you look close, you will see the tips of about a dozen good-size rocks balanced on other rocks. It was a bizarre sight.
