July 9, 2012 -- The end is near! I checked out of the Manchester Grand Hyatt for the last time this morning and after work I checked in to my home-away-from-home, the Residence Inn in La Jolla. I really do enjoy staying here; it's quiet, central to everything in the San Diego area, next to the La Jolla YMCA, and not as noisy as being downtown. Don't get me wrong, being in the Gaslamp District has its advantages, but when you realize that most people at the hotel are on vacation and you need to get up at 5:15 AM to get ready for work, it makes for a difficult combination.
Sadly, this is my last week in San Diego, so I need to see my spots one last time before I go. I called Enrique, who lives in La Jolla, and we went to the Rock Bottom restaurant to catch the Home Run Derby at the 2012 MLB All-Star game. I frequented this place many times since it's walking distance from my hotel. They serve a great spicy shrimp and chicken jambalaya, which I had to have, and washed it down with some local brews. The Home Run Derby was entertaining, but we made it an early evening; 5:15 AM comes pretty quick!!!
