We are now in San Diego prior to the Padres game tonight against the Reds. It was about a 6-hour trip and I did the driving. We headed westbound on I-10 out of Phoenix and drove around 40 miles until we hit US 85 and took it south to Gila Bend where we picked up I-8 that we would be on for the balance of the trip into San Diego. If we hadn’t driven the whole previous day just to get to Phoenix it would have been wise to drive to San Diego overnight as we were now driving the southern Mojave desert in the middle of the day. To fulfill Pat’s wishes I drove us to Ocean Beach just a bit north of San Diego where we all can step out into the Pacific Ocean before we make our way to Petco Park for tonight’s game. Before we go to Petco we drive thru the Gaslamp section of San Diego. I find what I am looking for when we drive past Jim Croce’s Jazz Bar. We take just enough time to snap the picture and take a look at the cool things in the Bar. Jim Croce was one of my all time favorite musicians and storytellers who died much too soon in the early 1970’s. The stories he told are still with me after nearly 40 years. It is a very short drive to Petco Park from there. We found a place with wifi before we got to the stadium to get this out. We had so much to eat before we left Doug and Julie’s we aren’t even hungry yet and will probably dine a little at Petco. Just hope they don’t expect us to eat dog food. We will be driving up I-5 to Anaheim after the game and overnight at the Disneyland Hotel before tomorrow’s game at Angels Stadium.
