Trip to San Deigo


This weekend, we visited San Diego to meet with Pappu dada and Nisha Vahini. We drove down on Friday night and reached just after midnight. Pappu dada had booked a room in Paradise Point resort. It was an entire island that had been converted into a tropical resort.
On Saturday, after getting ready, we headed for the San Diego pier. We had lunch at a cafe and spent an hour or so walking the length of the pier. In the afternoon, we rented a motor boat in the Mission Bay. The weather was really nice and sunny and we had a great time, taking turns to drive the boat. Later on in the evening, we caught the movie ' Casino Royale' and then had a quick bite at Islands.
On Sunday, Pappu dada took the morning flight back to New York. Nisha Vahini, Ashish and I hung out together. After a heavy brunch at IHOP, we spent some time on the beach that was closeby. We then went to Balboa Park in downtown San Diego. This is a very nice place with lots of museums (from Automotive to Art to History to Science) and gardens. We spent a couple of hours exploring the International houses, then the railroad museum and then took a short hike on the Palm Canyon Trail. It was evening by the time we got back to the room, and after resting a little, we headed back to Buena Park.
We had a wonderful time with Pappu dada and Nisha Vahini and hope to vacation with them again.
