Padres Game! (Well, sort of...)

So this past Sunday, Jen and I got this wild hair that we'd like to take the train down to Petco Park to take Emme to her first baseball game. It was a beautiful day, so we thought we'd sit at the "Park at the Park", eat hotdogs and drink beer, and watch Emme run around.

Unfortunately, there were several roadblocks along the way:

1) The Coaster doesn't run on Sundays. Go figure. No biggie, we'd just take the car down to Old Town and take the Trolley to Petco.

2) The Park at the Park was sold out. With the nice weather, Memorial Day weekend, and Jake Peavy pitching, I should have known better.

So with our baseball plans thwarted but still blessed with an afternoon of no chores, we decided to grab lunch in the Gaslamp. With our newfound love of all things UK, we headed over to The Field, an Irish pub on 5th.

Here are Emme and I chilling in the pub.

With lunch taken care of, it was time to take a leisurely stroll back to the train station to catch the trolley back to Old Town.
