Jeff's parents came to visit last weekend and while their visit was brief we were able to get in a trip to Seaport Village on Saturday at San Diego's waterfront. Seaport Village is similar to other recreated tourist-friendly villages like Mystic Seaport or Jamestown but with emphasis on shopping rather than history. They have over 50 shops and galleries and 17 eateries. A lot of it was kitschy but I did find a place solely dedicated to hot sauces. I was psyched about that and went home with some pretty sweet Buffalo Wing sauce. There were also a couple of art galleries that we perused and Jeff and I both found some pieces we liked at the Wayland Gallery. Unfortunately, his notoriety is such that we can't afford any of his work. Still, we were eyeballing a piece similar to Raging Sea.
Later that afternoon we hit the Gaslamp District where I realized every meal I spend away from this place is an experience lost. There is some serious eating going on in this part of town and a lot of amazing restaurants to try. We just walked around that day but I managed to make it back a few days later with Jeff and one of his old coworkers for a delicious chicken teriyaki sandwich and a couple of beers at Maloney's Tavern on the corner of 5th and F streets.
Sunday morning Jeff's parents left bright and early to catch a flight to Maui, Hawaii but will be stopping back by on their way home for another weekend. Hopefully we'll get back to the Gaslamp as I have my eye on some good eats.
