Day 4 - Friday June 27th, 2003
Foggy morning.
Ate left over pizza (cold) for breakfast and watched video from zoo.
Late morning - got ready late, not much planned for the day.
Watched old Rob Lowe movie on showtime. ("Illegally Yours") Slapstick comedy caper from the eighties.
Drove to IMAX theater in Balboa Park (running late, running late!) for 1:00 show. Didn't think we'd make it but we did.
Watched "Kilimanjaro." 40 minute show at IMAX about tallest mountain in Africa! Mike did not fall asleep.
Walked through some of Balboa Park. A beautiful and sunny day. Neat architecture, museums, flowers, fountains, etc.
Drove to "Mission Valley" in search of a mall. Did not quite find this mall. Discovered a shopping strip that included Borders, Marshalls, and DSW Shoe Warehouse. Mike stopped in Borders, amy bought black sandals at DSW.
Had not eaten for a while, stopped in Espresso place. Both got "White Mocha Dreams" (frozen drinks - yum) and shared a lemon bar.
Still did not discover the Mission Center Mall, but came across Fashion Valley Mall.
Pretty fancy, outdoor (2 levels) mall. Had never seen anything like it.
All kinds of high-brand stores, which we had only ever heard about but never been in.
Bought a smaller pale yellow "Dietz" lantern from Williams-Sonoma.
Henry & David Store - various neat foods. Bought some yummy red licorice sticks and Moose Crunch- chocolate covered nuts.
Came across Kiosk with personailzed gifts, including CD's with children's songs. Inserting any name you want. We bought one for Mike's niece, Alaina.
Ate at Pizzaria Uno Chicago Bar & Grill in the mall. Got onion pedals (appetizer). Mike = steak with skinless baked potato (that's California for ya!) Amy = steak terriyaki with veggies and rice. Discovered there is a Pizzaria Uno in Merrillville, IN. Kinda like Friday's or Applebee's but with pizza.
Stopped at Walgreens for sun block, eyeglass repair kit (my sunglasses kept falling apart) and picked up my 1st roll of pictures.
On way out of Walgreens saw a mark on passenger door of our brand new red Focus rental. Thought it was bird poop, it wasn't. Californians are such assholes about others' property - a nice nick in the paint. A bummer! The 2nd scratch on car in just a few days.
Went to Von's grocery for pop, chips, salsa and rum. Mike was jumping around crazy. Had to go to the bathroom very badly!
To hotel - dropped Mike off at main door so he could go ASAP.
Retired to the room for the night. Drank Rum and Pepsi's (out of coke at Von's!) and watched our "free" in-room movie - "National Security" with Martin Lawerence. No Oscar winner.
