Last day in San Deigo

Thursday AA  This morning we slept in till 8 oclock.We meet for breakfast at 9 and walked over to the broken yolk cafe,the waitress there was awesome  and really helped us enjoy day and really helped us enjoy our day...She gave us some great tips...The cracked yolk was on Man vs food...The food is great and I bought a shirt there...Now we are going back to the hotel to get the truck.This is quite a feat to wqtch, Earl dodging the valets its kinda like a war movie with Earl sneaking around the underground parking lot on his belly ...All this to avoid the tip.He has figured out that if you leave threw the side or back doors yu can avoid the bell boys too..This time he is not so lucky and the valet has to be called in to get the truck....Now we are going to drive over to the old town san deigo, it is really neat and we pas threw little italy...apparently okd town used to be part of Mexico....We walked around until the boys spyed a $1 Beers but you know they cant have just one We wrote our names on an american dollar bill and Cheryl taped it to the wall. It was a neat place OHungrys. We bought some souviners and returned back to the truck..We had a bit of grief getting back to the Hilton but managed ok..Earl had to give it up to the valet this time lol Cheryl and I seemed to have miscalculated our days as we seem to have run out of under garments, guess the swanky hotels we r staying in have no laundry... so we go up five blicks to the Horton Plaza Center ...Hummm Nordstrum or Macys???? Macys wins out and we go buy some extras.. We check out the world market on the way back... We find the boys beached out at the pool on those double loungers. Earl said Greenpeace flew by but left them alone. We sat for a bit then returned to our rooms  to Padres up.. Now we are going to the Omni for happy hour. The Omni is a fancy smancy hotel the guy that built the ball park owns it so it caters to all the ball players, they have a private floor just of them for safety and privacy. He even buikt a private walk way to Petco Park. It cost over four million dollars, so we are going to have happy hour in the bar where they will stamp our tickets and we can cross over to the park...Dodgers and Padres tonight....It is a nice field 398   to center field , we take a walk around and find our seats, absolutely amazing seats best yet...first base 9 rows back......Rick is so excited as this time he is able to go right down to the field.......He manages to get himself a ball from one of the ushers and is told a ball player will show up in about half an hour to sign autographs.....So he sits his ass down and patuently waits chatting up everyone around him lol The blue man guy comes around so Rick gets a pic wuth him, kinds looks like he might have had a little accident.....lol  Wow its a ling walk down to the good seats.... Chase Headly shows up and Rick is waiting patiently he finally signs his ball.....The Dodgers are killing the Padres 8 to 1 Looks like they are going to toss some tshirts out..Rick nabs one he is having a good game isnt he....In the nineth we decide to head for the doors, this stadium has the bleachers in a graas area wuth a giant sand box and play ground at the bottom very cool then behind that is a grassy hill were you can sit. These tickets are affordable starting at $5  going to about $18... Its a beautiful night so we stroll back to the Hilton....Did I mention they sell hard stuff at the park and they have a wine store.....We had a night cap thought about having a hot tub bt it was close to midnight...So till tomorrow......
